assumption

can you

throw me something

a line

or a wire

(a look)

is it asking too much

when i’m not looking for give

 

you should be there

like breath

and breezes

like smiles

the silence in between

heart beats

where blood rushes

and quickly forgets where

to go

 

there should be no map

for certain things

no instruction book

for gravity

lips should want to kiss

souls should beg

to yearn

oceans with miles of

disinterest

for the mountains of salt

contained within

 

should…

where did should go

buried in the magicians cape

of damning expectation

i can make you disappear

 

every time i think

you should

Hey man! The last twelve lines were fckn PRIMO. Strong. Started off just a little slow for me, but it really pulled out. Great write.

i've not had as much time to spend with my writing these days as i'd like....i imagine many of us do the same and allot time where we can....sometimes i feel more compelled...other times i wish like hell that i had the right words to string together; or maybe, more accurately i wish i had the idea that would help me put the words together....regardless, words like yours make it easier to want to find the time, to take the moments, to sit in the quiet and wait for the words. thank you for your kindness.

Feels the same to me. Like meditation. I have to clear myself of myself before I can spend time thinking of something else :-)

I can make you disappear

every time I think
you should

Great lines...telling lines. I enjoyed this piece; there was a heartbeat within these words that was palpable in the reading. "Assumption" indeed... Well done.

wow...this is one of those, "i wish i had written this" poems..i love the play on words with "should"

every time someone tells me i should do something...my first thought is "i should not"

if no tells us we should, we probably would want to.

Thank you, friend.
