do you know what it is like to be soft
squishy
completely and fully and entirely pliable

they can scoop you up, dribbling from their fingers
they can shape you, squishing and pulling and pushing
they can pour you into a mold, soft, silky, reforming

he put me in a cage
but then he broke me free

he put cuffs on my wrists, tying me down
but then he put helium in my heart, flying me away

i was young, yes, i was wrong, yes

he was there and so it happened

but now

now

now i am right
now he is here and it's right

i am reformed once again
