false start.
Draw too deep breath.
Linger too long.
take back break

Slowly.
Forego solid food.
Count to ten.
hold on elastic pill
tight stretch
release sharp no time
fixing not broken not ever

you are not the frayed wick
I still haven’t figured out what you are
you are like deja vu with pretty eyes
seeing a splintering of a thousand potential futures
they all exist because none of them exist ...

the first is
This one is not for you.
Stay.
Stay.
Close your eyes
those framed portraits

full stop

stay.
Stay sane.
in
with no regard,
heaviness,
luke warm
