dear reader,
i am writing words
for the express purpose
of turning off
my mind.
my hands have
shaken other hands
and shaken by themselves:
the above exemplifies
description.
my hands have turned
like leaves falling from trees
into words in my own hands
and this is how
i have
and will
destroy
my own self
and not wait
for winter
white and cloudless
as raw pelting grains
of white rice
to do it for me.
the above
exemplifies
metaphor.
