The Blood & The Bones

falling in

and falling out

I scare myself

with my own detachable heart

I swear to you

it’s not my intention

to forsake you

to leave you

to break the break in you

but the wings inside of me try

to spread

to soar

to see the unseen

that I’ve dreamt about

since dreams were all I had

I won’t

I shouldn’t

I know I cannot

so, the straps

I bind

I readjust

I tighten so tightly

and then sit in this quiet

this normalcy that takes me

into the madness

into the still of the stillness

into the pause.
