Why do I think
that if I wrap my arms around
the world,
press it to my heart and hold
it tight,
that I can make it better?
Make anything better?
What the world wants is not me,
but its own,
and its own is not within
my power to give.
Instead, I absorb the pain
of the longing,
and wish the world would
hold me.
