We live in the cracked, dusty edges of
language, spoken by breath connected lips that equal
thoughts. Take my words, you need them more as
I'm resigned to knowing the best I can give you is the sound of me not
breathing when you get too close and ask if we can just exist and I
freeze because I'm afraid that I can't even do that
correctly. So we talk - without words and transcend
the wall of speak and then listen. Your
thoughts echo in the beat of your
heart and I wish mine
weren't so honest that every time you lay your
head on my chest my pulse bombards you like a
four year old asking questions about
the world like
Why is it that you do this to me and when did my lungs stop filling with air and how come the sky looks so much better reflected in your eyes and it feels so nice to be sitting with you that I almost think moving would turn into a sin and I'm sure I'm an atheist so I want to know how you've suddenly taught me to
pray.
