If you’d like to hear how the pacing of these words flows in my body, enjoy the audio included above.
you do not know me
too loud
chaotic
and could sweep me away in a wave
.
you don’t hug me like
the trees and the wind
or know
the sturdiness
of a mountain range
.
but your cool touch
wrapping around my skin
softens me
into
one
more
step
.
the nearly clear blue
of your bright crystal hue
once more
stifles
my breath
.
I’m still unsure
if I want to know you
if you could replace what I miss
.
maybe I’ll expand space
for a new love
and embrace
another salty
kiss
.
