I believe it to be an impasse we have become the segway between two paths that end up in the same place feel the sand the crunch the curl and hauling arms that cling tightly to your chilled skin withdraw yourself from the segway of your own creation there are other ways to walk do not remove your shoes keep walking whisper, whisper is that the wind in my hair is that your fingers tracing my scalp are you holding me now whisper, whisper are you sweet sweet as nothings sweet sugar achy teeth do you smell the rot beneath the sweetness the nectar that dips low on the neck of your heart of the vest you wear so well do not remove your shoes do not let your feet touch dew do not feel the goosebumps do not feel it keep walking whisper, whisper nudge, nudge they know now their eyes betray them they gleam like pristine canines a howling dislocated jaw to let the water flood in the chest breathe deep breathe keep walking keep your eyes straight as a ruler as flat as the evening sky the orange is folded in half it is shackled on your hair raised biceps you bleed orange now it is beautiful not scary you are not scared any longer keep walking courage girl hold your head high tilt your neck up it is not submission it is not fear to show your neck you are courage girl you are fiery you are sparkling listen to the whisper that sounds so loud in your ears keep walking one day you will get there

Keep walking
I believe it to be an impasse we have become the segway between two paths that end up in the same place feel the sand the crunch the curl and hauling arms that cling tightly to your chilled skin withdraw yourself from the segway of your own creation there are other ways to walk do not remove your shoes keep walking whisper, whisper is that the wind in my hair is that your fingers tracing my scalp are you holding me now whisper, whisper are you sweet sweet as nothings sweet sugar achy teeth do you smell the rot beneath the sweetness the nectar that dips low on the neck of your heart of the vest you wear so well do not remove your shoes do not let your feet touch dew do not feel the goosebumps do not feel it keep walking whisper, whisper nudge, nudge they know now their eyes betray them they gleam like pristine canines a howling dislocated jaw to let the water flood in the chest breathe deep breathe keep walking keep your eyes straight as a ruler as flat as the evening sky the orange is folded in half it is shackled on your hair raised biceps you bleed orange now it is beautiful not scary you are not scared any longer keep walking courage girl hold your head high tilt your neck up it is not submission it is not fear to show your neck you are courage girl you are fiery you are sparkling listen to the whisper that sounds so loud in your ears keep walking one day you will get there
