Faint, a wall away, and heat beside again,
again always, and I, said I’d walk the world in circles,
tangle neighborhoods with love or wire,
and I’ve never been barefoot like this before.
Never felt the slip of red in hours,
never braided veins with acceptance, no,
just weakened twists of carry in a form. A form.
Oh my! It's Friday and I'm breathing.

I'm breathing and it's raining won't you see.
Time is on the tip of me, and I could run instead,
weave the chaos through the streets. Oh no.
Leave the love and wire by the door.
And I could shape a silver road into the sea,
chase a cloud for miles on a high,
instead, I slide along a brickway in the darkness,
and taste a scream of tongue before the day.

Shivering from that trip.
Shatteringly strong words, take care of you.

Something very engaging captured me in this piece~

'and I, said I’d walk the world in circles'

I think I will be reading this one time and again~

Your words never fail to grab me, to bring something to me. Thank you!
