***

a boy of my age stared at me.
knocking out the air
inside of me, so
i stole air to feed my
famished lungs.
but no matter how
many times i breathe,
the wonder was
still there.

where did this smiling boy
come from?

his smile-filled ruins and
universe that held too
many flowers - that
i am afraid it would
wilt with just a flicker
of my cold hands.

i am afraid.

afraid of this entity that
was born from
nowhere. blessed
with the colossal
blossoms of the
world.

i am afraid if he too would
die shunned - cast away
by the world that gave
birth to him and i.

that smile i once plastered.

on my face.
