this unbearable thing… it will feel and be
different someday. it will lose its hold
on your breath. i promise… even this.

learning to trust me…
then seeing what my heart has to

“i want to learn to trust you,
but i don’t know how.”
and you said,
“then don’t. learn to trust you.

and i closed my eyes
in the middle of all the wild noise
and just stayed still… and i felt myself
being pulled that way.
and so i asked, “why that way?”
and i heard, “because there are dreams over there.”
and that feels like as good a reason as any
to ever do anything…
and so i’m going to go that way.
