And the bones got up to dance.
We waltzed.
I drove by to pick up an old self of mine.
It's been a necessary long time.
Continuum like I left it on pause
Which I did
And then called it dead.
Let's play pretend and take a ghost by the hand.
Traipse across rusted starshine
And now I understand
Finally
Could you understand why I had to hurt?
I detested the child within me
because I couldn't smell the summer grass any more
and taste the salt of being wrapped up in a ball
Because children don't understand why adults would cry
Being so large and all
And learn to mimic that incomprehension.
And now I am one.
And now I am
one
Just in time to get to work, to get to the Work.
If I really try I might get as many breaths as I want.
My hands feel unusually warm.
