stepping, letters

stepping, letters

things were slow
then, and introspective on the feet.

pieces of jagged wood
took deep breaths under them.

every relationship
inhales
and exhales

so do your toes
insomnia

as i rolled over
my mind flung up flowers
in the unlikely event of landing on water

bodies land like wind on sea
which is to say they don't

because water is not a landable place

everything repeats
everything repeats

the heart can rest on this

- it does
