3 AM THOUGHTS
If you could sedate
the beat in your bones,
What would you replace it with?
Would you hold the empty sound
in your chest.
Let it roll in around and
Squeeze your lungs?
Would you miss the steadiness
Of your blood carrying your thoughts
To your hands?
Would you lay limp and let the wind
Make a pine bough of you,
Swaying against your gravity
Would you let the silence fill you and
Would you know it's enough?
