Quiet
Watch greef run out to care
The worst of your immagination
holds you
There as the animal you are
For a second to hurt
as hurt by
Yet you let your insides
lay away
For no reason why

AI Interpretation
Grief moves toward care while imagination briefly holds a hurt animal-self; the speaker questions letting the insides lie unused.
The animal image joins vulnerability to an unrealized inner life. The uncertain type in holds is not a basis for a more specific psychological claim.
'Quiet' begins 'Watch greef run out to care / The worst of your immagination / holds you', and ends 'Yet you let your insides / lay away / For no reason why'.
A poem about grief held inside; greef and immagination are kept as typed, and the overstruck holds remains provisional.
