Untitled 29

We do not call ourselves poets

We bleed when the light does

Proof of our existence

We are not poets

We are translators

We translate the heave of a chest

Into ink

Give words to the desire that burns sheets

Leaving them full of holes

Keep your eyes peeled

And ears alert

It floats through the air

And we are still breathing in

Something beautiful
