paper
like that torn
too close to the fire piece that no one notices
I crinkle and curl up
turning light brown and smooth around my edges
bright embers
lava bright in the pinched darkness
dying to ethereal grayish smokes
to the sky
reaching to the sky...
at the bottom
the silt's silt
smooth
through my fingers
over my tongue
tasting the ocean's essence brine
back of my throat
choking on the raw bouquet
I swallow
looking only to the next
the other
this tomorrow I can never seem to catch up to
or with
to be beside
lost in right now
where everything seems fine
where every day
plants each foot in front of the next
where maybe, just may be things are just fine
just like I need it to be
so that I can make sense
in all that no one expected
more words few
existed
