I don't have an attribution.

What I want
is all
of this: each breath,
each step,
each bead on the string,
and the cross, too,
if that's part of the deal.

Oh.

I found it, at least a lot of it.

It's just that I don't know if long-term, high-contact relationships are possible without scarring for one or both parties. I suppose it hinges on interpretation of scarring vs growth, but: there it is. I suppose I can't know (?) but that's the missing information underpinning this thing, it's why I'm vibrating back and forth on it so much.

Got it.

It's always so anticlimactic pulling stuff out from the pile of work.
