she's wondering how many women are walking around this world
feeling the tingling of their amputated wings
remembering what it was to fly to sing
How many wars will it take us to learn that only the dead return?
Andrea GibsonAutumn is the hardest season. The leaves are all falling, and they're falling like
they're falling in love with the ground.
Yesterday i carved your name into the surface of an ice cube
then held it against my chest til it melted into my aching pores
today i cried so hard the neighbors knocked on my door
and asked if I wanted to borrow some sugar.
We are all instruments pulling the bows across our own lungs. Windmills, still startling in every storm. Have you ever seen a newborn blinking at the light? I wanna do that every day. I wanna know what the kite called itself when it got away, when it escaped into the night...

But whatever
However
Whenever this ends I want you to know
That right now
I love you forever
Cause I don't wanna be a witness to this life,
I want to be charged and convicted,
ear lifted to her song like a bouquet of yes
because my heart is a parachute that has never opened in time
and I wanna fuck up that pattern,
leave a hole where the cold comes in and fill it every day with her sun,
'cause anyone who has ever sat in lotus for more than a few seconds
knows it takes a hell of a lot more muscle to stay than to go
and I wonder if Beethoven held his breath
the first time his fingers touched the keys
the same way a soldier holds his breath
the first time his finger clicks the trigger.
We all have different reasons for forgetting to breathe.

A doctor once told me I feel too much. I said, so does god. that’s why you can see the grand canyon from the moon.
