194.

plant my hands in hard soil for you
break my elbows to speak
so you don't have to see the teeth in my cuticles
the bones I choked for you

then uproot them again when you ask
where my fingers went

pull up the green shoots that were
just sprouting there, but no
pull them up
roots and all to reassure you
nothing is wrong here
