ryan blood (7 august 1992 / resident of tampa, fl)

i dreamed of you and me
not climbing
but settling in the belly of
a mountain
settling for years of rest; hibernation
like bears
but we, the two of us
are not fierce as bears
though we would like to be
and pretend to be
we are not truly brave
you and i have no bravery
we are too kind
despite what we like to believe
we will always be too kind
