on resentment and discontent
Why do you come here?
What do you search for in this place?
Stretch this rubber band of concern.
Wrap it around your finger.
Leave us sore and aching.
Oh captain, steer your destroyer away, from this place
Seize your darts of accusation.
Take this bottle of love and squeeze it dry.
Feel the softness in your hands.
Breathe in the freshness.
What do you hope to gain in this place?
You’re still empty.
You’re still alone.
