"an other another", Benzie Dio

so the blinds, the kind that keep the sun out, 
the kind that keep our eyes shut, the latter fold,
that’s what you do with a losing hand, that’s what 
i do with laundry before the rain resets its wet, 
the former draw, from where i get art, from where 
you get blood through the needle that breaks through, 
for when eyes shut you hold the tears, the same that 
you fight back to, which one is wet, which the other 
is us apart, to shreds the result, in pieces the pick up, 
as the held holds, the with before abstains, the with 
after affirms, what hold matters: a choke stifles, 
a crimp hangs, a ship stores, a have is till death
us do part, where apart, where a part,

/ Benzie Dio toggles his poems to public every April!
