Step 1

Take a breathe and hold it
Hold On
Until your eyes tear up
Bugging like Bottle Rockets
Ready to pop--any minute
Your vision will tunnel
through you, you’ll see
only the next breathe

Step 2

Step into my stilettos and follow my footsteps
Leave.
Until you come back again.
Bandage the Blood on your feet.
The world is round, anyway
You know.
only the next step

Step 3

Sleepwalk into the bedroom you recognize
Lights Out.
Until you adjust
There’s enough fire in your belly
To make shadow puppets
Learn to love Yourself,
In darkness, unfolding
only the next morning

And if you really want to know
What it feels like
To be in Love with you.

Step 4

Fall asleep and dream.
Never Knowing if you will ever...
See Daylight
Find your Way Home
Breathe
Again.
