waiting for my mouth to kill this
thank the earth we’re not slowing down
your hold is heaven, unnerving in its retreat
i’ve never had to learn
you had me beat
down
i’m too far in
i’m not going anywhere
but i don’t know where i’ve been
to warrant this
sacred time before my eyes
you can snatch it from me
when you realize
we need the air
i’m holding back the words
i’m cancelling my plans
your discretion
is saving us
these distractions
will leave me in the dust
