Close Yourself Enough To Open Well This Time

cut it up

burn it down
stop the flow

your love is leaking
out from your fingers
into strangers’ mouths

the wrong people
are drinking your water
you are becoming

dehydrated, so

shut it down
break it off
let it go

kiss your own feet for a day
teach yourself to touch
your own skin

you deserve to begin
again, as often as it takes
to grow new moss

and breathe
