Pantoum 2

Mark D. Hessman K'88

Try telling me that
as if you believed
you could help me
ground myself... just

as if you believed
I would go to
ground, myself, just
sitting rapt and waiting for the rain.

I would go to
your heart - cracked, open, just
sitting rapt and waiting for the rain
you'd be letting loose if

your heart cracked open. Just
try telling me that
you'd be letting loose if
you could: "help me."
