1-4-3

how do i say it?

Burning, turning, leaping, tumbling forwards backwards sideways

Angling right towards the cardiac ticker

Bouncing and bursting, exploding then lurking

Waiting for acknowledgement

Waiting for its birth

Pursed in between lips

Squeezed so tight to hold out the pain and contain the debris

So as not to be rejected

Rejected energies having no where to turn, burn or leap

So they surface

And I lose

And win

And run

To your arms…
