All In Breaths
Chipped nails, relieved breaths
I let go of filing, and painting and repeating
Two years of ink, deep breathes
All for a sheet of paper, it hangs on my wall
New room, cold breaths
I moved here thinking, and praying and dreaming
For the first time, I stayed somewhere alone
Distance in miles, and voices and hope
Empty pages, shallow breaths
I let go of fixing, and moving and making
Holding breaths
Holding|
