...A Poem by Ookpikhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RB-RcX5DS5A
.
. God, you make it all stand still - . Everything stops when you happen around. . . The leaves halt in their fall and . The breeze, . Freezes in its coursing through it all. . . How do you do that? . . How do you cut to the quick . As if it'd been upon the surface for near the entirety of its time - . As if it were it that had been lacking the incentive, the wherewithal . To tunnel towards the callous and break into the luminescence of your shine. . . You know more about me than I have words to say. . . And somehow, in your notice of them, . You can make time stand still . And the tragic turning of this place . Soundlessly, go away. . . You can lift the hairs from the skin across my arm. . You can pull salt-water from the corners of my eyes. . . How do you do that? . . How do you thaw the thing . That I so desperately encase in stone? . . And I feel a fool to feel it - . But still, that leaking thing, . In me, . Would cherish the chance to know. . .
