don't hold your breath

inspired by Leslie Philibert http://www.writerscafe.org/writing/Leslie-Philibert/1793659/

hold out your hands, not your breath;
do not look to the next day,
nor the one we just left
at the foot of the sun
while the moon rises
in the summer sky.
love me now!
for we
know
not
the
day
or
hour
we
are
done.
