i fade into thought
searching for touch in depth
twisting between
deep breaths
hollow feelings
darkness
temptation and virtue
we spin in this
to transcend
i resist the excuse
lies and emotion
tempered vocals
i feel the hairs on your neck
pricks from my fingers
thorns in the cracks
darkened eaves
i sense you reeling
do you feel it?
books on a shelf
dust at the tip of your mouth
you hold things close
yet too far to find
depth in the middle of
how far you run
how close you remain
we find ourselves in circles
revolving doors
learning to lean into what
hurts us most
this is how i exist
this moment
is where i find me
learning beyond words
emotion and horror
texture
like napkins on my fingers
can you feel it?
i excuse your words
because time
has a funny way of holding
the grasp
the fingers
the hold
the interconnection
i find you in doorways
revolving instead of growing
sometimes you exist in moments
some linger
a few move
but what i can’t understand
is how you move forward
yet fall backward
i feel you in past
i feel you in present
i feel you everywhere
in the air
in the eve
in temptation
in toxicity
