It’s okay,
We can breathe separately today.
Yesterday’s breath turned into a roar, starting
...
The leaves on the ground lay motionless,
Belieing their secret intent beneath
The tree canopy.
...
Would I to walk away from all that I have known and
Done for so many years and
Chose to let you, of your own volition
Carry yourself to where you need to be,
...
I hand it over.
If it is good day, I won’t take it back.
I hand over nothing willingly.
I grasp it tight.
...
Missed Meanings
It’s okay,
We can breathe separately today.
Yesterday’s breath turned into a roar, starting
Someplace underneath the fascia that
Connects you to me.
It began as a low rumble, something that
Escaped our notice.
It inched it’s way
Up and over,
Lifting us up
Off of the ground
In its long fingers
Of missed meanings.
Pushing us up towards the ceiling,
It held us there,
Pinned.
Before the exhale came,
- And we fell.
