amendment

once you sang back. ununderlined. said you were on your way. to where. I was. if you were broken, I was fused. unequally lined. if I waited, I was in the lawn and you were on the telephone. you always. muffled your screams. pressed me into the formica countertop. able to steady. myself. until later when the texture resembled stone. you wouldn’t. give it up. this isn’t for you. like you think it is. answers your question. from years ago. again but better.

I like this one, especially how it begins-- very mysterious and forceful. In fact it has a "severe" force to it, and I want to know more about what that "question" at the end is. Tantalizing.
