if you touch it too hard it goes away
this is the nature of
it
how to handle it
carefully
like nitro
gentle yet rough enough
how to hold it in your hands
and shape it into what you need it to be
a risky combination
we dare to address
to take it inside to roll it over
and touch it
all to consume it
taste it swallow it
whole
yet not set it off
to possess it without
destroying it
what is or what it
means
tender enough to feel
its love
yet love enough to make it respond
I had it and embrace
it
even if pursuing it
I am terrified I might lose it
after all
