cracks

cracks in the asphalt, cracks in the curb

cracks in the sidewalk, cracks in the doors

cracks in the walls and cracks in the floor

cracks in the glass, cracks in the steel

cracks in the marble and cracks in the pillars

crack my eyes open to see a little more

cracks in my hands, cracks in my feet

cracks in my smile, cracks in my face

cracks in my youth and cracks in my world

cracks in the earth, cracks in the ways

cracks in the stairs, between me and You

i move inwards, towards the cracks in my psyche

hoping to trip and hold on to You

but i don’t

i slip through the cracks
