Secret flaw


it
flows through my hands
no containment
stains my fingers
as it flows
leaning down
I taste it
reeling back
disbelief
bitter sweet
I rush to congeal it
evaporating
as it dries between
it
is my secret flaw
chasing it
pouring it everywhere
dancing
then disappearing
streams through
the fractured red cup
drains to collapse
riddle me this
the mystery
that holds it
and of my secret flaw
weeping
wondering


ever?
