There has always been a give

to flesh. It pushes 

out, you push

in, and eventually 

someone breaks— Past

 

a honeycomb of energy,

into skin, through cords ever 

exerting outward. Find arteries, open. 

Meet the too solid 

structure. This will give you 

 

pause. They cut themselves

open, bleed, break 

for each other. Not you.
