I am not

~I am not a graceful person. I am not 

a Sunday morning or a Friday sunset. I

am a Tuesday 2am, I am gunshots 

muffled by a few city blocks. I am a 

broken window during February. My

bones crack on a nightly basis. I fall 

from elegance with a dull thud, and I

apoligize for my awkward sadness. I 

sometimes believe that I don't belong 

around people, that I belong to all the 

leap days that didn't happen. The 

way lightness and darkness mix under

my skin has become a storm. You don't

see lightning but you hear the 

echoes.~
