I need to breathe somewhere close to my chest
where the pillows can't reach me
with their quills pointing
I need to feel something akin to quiet
but as I type the word, it feels foreign
a land beyond my ken
I had a dream not too long ago
about breath
moving through soundlessly
a vision
rather than a cue
sifted in light
The end of a year and the beginning of another one. I feel the closing of doors behind me, a certitude of endings of some sort. And I pause for a moment and hold my breath before I left it leave me.
