lost the manual
sometimes i can't remember
how to pull a sadness out
and keep it in one piece
how to make it speak to me

Be my hereby known as, my previously referred to, my otherwise, my elsewhere. Be my scandalous repartee. Be my semiotic wilderness, my midnight blue metallic, my queen’s gambit.
