a long overdue

[dead_meadow]

what do you do
when you realize the world
is in between your cupped hands
what do you do
when everything you knew about yourself
slips away
when the closest faces
become faint and distant
&the world seems so big.
yet, with coincidences
similarities, memories
it shrinks
shrinks to the size
that you can hold it
in the palm of your hands
