you know that moment?
when you are choosing between
letting it out
and holding your breath?
between being true like a dart
and withholding for fear of your threat?
i don’t know if you know
but i learned something today:
love finds a way like life finds a way
a way for words
that no feelings are not right
so don’t bottle your weight
it’s impossible anyway
better off true to the ape
than playing dead to me
with the spirit beast
dancing on your dna
like a camel through the eye
of the kingdom’s vagrants
gallivanting
they invited me in
when i knocked
my head on the pavement
contrary to what i’ve been told
it’s not the best way to enter
since i’ve been taking
laughing lessons and smiling
under the blanket
fort flashlight on
whispers and wrestling
scary stories and slumber pages
