TOUCH

 

why is it that every one of you apologizes?

do you perceive the faint, so expertly repressed recoil

that shudders through my body

post-touch?

do you feel the somatic electric fence that walls

my echoing sepulcher?

 

i was force-fed revulsion

and it seeps out through my smile

when you touch and say

sorry
