swing low

the world feels lighter,

a shade of grey, floating, airy;

in december I swear the world was deep maroon, people were falling off the edges of a flat piece of paper

and now, spherical,

self-saving, breathing, alive.

 

we trudged through sorrow, fragmented bodies,

we huddled together in the wind and waited for something,

anything,

someone.

 

the feeling of sliding tthrough a crack and miraculously appearing in a cavern of gold

and blue skies for miles,

curving over the horizon,

just so.
