after rio

Summary:

a little poem found in Henry’s notes app, sometime after the rio olympics

Work Text:

why must I spend so much of my soul scrambling to hold together the thinnest threads of my own reality

my labored survival

my pretended serenity

when it costs him so little to craft his elaborate tapestries

that his eyes still glint while his fingers whirl

and he’ll stitch your name right in just to savor the catch in your breath?

 

-H
