Always In the Last Place You Looked

fill me up with words, exhale-
   [they just want to understand] it's not meant for your
delicate mind to handle, not for your hands to hold,
                                  see that i've given up
    & that i don't want you to follow my example. courted
by rebellion, tampered with by the forbidden, gracious
for every fall i take-
                     i'm trying to look on the good side
                     of two-dimensional loss--
         i can't find what i don't 
         notice, though i need it know the most.
i'm toast.
