06. Trying to Collapse at Twenty-Two

do you believe in reincarnation?
circles over scribbles
orderless city quiet

noise and music and silence

it is the perfect time
all the time
because no two days were ever the same
he said with smug profundity
laughable
and i write in verse because of the pauses
so pause

and breathe

expand not in consumption
but in embrace
exhale into existence
past action
into stillness
all there is 
everything there is not

noise or music or silence?

air and air and water
flow and sing and
hear Her smile in the song

xx
