Made too paper thin
You bought yourself a second skin;
Tucked in tight to hide the crumbling.
Housed within
The thick of it
The core is a trembling sparrow,
Left out in the cold
Of the deepest sheltered shadow.
The chemistry can seem
So insubstantial.
There is danger in your veins.
One knock
One shudder
Away from centre
Sets you reeling for days,
Out of ordinary orbit
To a ceaseless spin.
When the edges become untucked
You will spill,
Onto anything that still clings.
