jagged edges

i feel myself untangle
soft and subtle
just around the edges

it should bother me more
and i should find needle, thread
but time lingers
caressing, welcoming like a lover

and i'd rather just... season

once upon a time
there was more of me
lines clearly defined

but like velveteen

i was rubbed, softened
jagged edges blurred
joints loosened

now my ears flop
my mind changes
and slowly
surely

i untangle
