I don’t want you to heal me

A new contemporary poem from E.B. Johnson.

i want you to know that somehow-
somewhere

something else is moving and it 
makes me

want to me move too. i’m moving
toward the

glass on the edge of the moon and
everything

else is hanging too. don’t you feel
it? at most

another dozen and we’ll ply it all
apart.

i don’t want you to heal me. i want
you to think

about the last time you…
