Thumbtacks In My Marrow - Asaf Avidan

Wait, don’t stop

You have gotten to me at last

I know I broke your fall but I can’t repent the past

It hurts

Thumbtacks in my marrow

I rest on old familiar runes that I can’t recall

Leave a hint

Of your broken image

Before I shed this crackled glass and take the final leap

Into the womb of all rusted feathers

And I’ll see you when I am born into your world

Again

And so I fall

And so I follow the way back home

And so I follow the way back home
