Would it be rude of me? At such a far proximity To not breathe breath back into our being? Cold and quiet as the morning Laying still like the undisturbed sheets Windowless without sense or feeling Would you consider it mean? If I chose to not let this proud chest beat? And collapse in a time like the hills into a cavity Just as riverous words cuts the valley sharp And the tongue softens both pen and quill How rude would it be if I didn’t care about our relationship lying still?

Sometimes it’s best just to let the patient go. And please know. That this piece is about no one who writes or has written like this. nod nod It's about no one in particular.
