     yesterday i cried down hospital hallways
     with guitar calluses digging into cheeks
     and life lines pressed to lips
     as they twisted themselves around
     agonised sounds
     and apologies barely choked out
     to nurses ran full-on into


     today i cried on the sidewalk
     in the dancing shadow of a budding tree
     with spring rain
     leaking through the cracks in my shoes

     because as i raised my hand to block the sun from my eyes
     a monarch butterfly
     breezed down from a branch
     to land on my finger,
     all citrus and air and beauty,
     and all i wanted to do
     was crush it
i always want to destroy small things
