i'm quietly sheltered
in my old familiar shell
that inviting cocoon of separation
so clammy, so crabby out of desperation
it has been keeping me quiet
reserving and repairing
not injured or victimized
but betraying the deepest places
what happens if i open up this heart?
cracked shell, exposed underbelly
will it shatter?
will it fail?
there's a strange rhythm inside
shaking in the unknown
