Self Insufficiency

Self Insufficiency

Megan Bean

Why do we demand
to glimpse through a pinprick
the panorama of years?

Why do our shoulders
of flesh and bone
itch for the weight of a world?

Why do our hearts fight
for rights to draw
from dry wells?

And why do our souls
cling to every stain,
hold open every wound,
crying, Mine?
