be patient...

i must ask you to be patient

there are cracks running through my bones
and my throat often seizes up when i try to speak

sometimes i will be distant and avoid
meeting your eye,
sometimes i disappear for days

but if you wait long enough,
you'll be able to catch the
stardust that pours out from between my fingers
because really i am infinite
and there are a myriad of universes within me,

it's just that nobody's taken the time to dust me off before.
