you, instead

it is many short days,
long in dreams and possibility

every twinge and tingle
may be proof of life!
of hope, transformed into being

it is divine
this grievous longing

i resist and submit
as my insides are pulled out into the world
stretched bare in front of the sun

my feet burns
unprotected on the sand

gold piles up all around me
and i barter with whoever will listen
to give me you, instead
