Your face explodes into sidewalks and alleyways,
streets and paths, hiking trails, and glittering linoleum floors
It hits waves and wind and the faces of harsh mountains,
melts snow and burns sun.
Some bursting through molecules and broken vessels now sunken, through aromatic sleeplessness, shower heads,
through Mondays and poster board and blue paper mate pens.
It breaks definitions
and connotations
and my fingernails
It breaks and it explodes
and it hits, and it
bursts
It wakes me up
It encourages me
It breathes to me

Your face explodes into sidewalks and alleyways,
streets and paths, hiking trails, and glittering linoleum floors
It hits waves and wind and the faces of harsh mountains,
melts snow and burns sun.
Some bursting through molecules and broken vessels now sunken, through aromatic sleeplessness, shower heads,
through Mondays and poster board and blue paper mate pens.
It breaks definitions
and connotations
and my fingernails
It breaks and it explodes
and it hits, and it
bursts
It wakes me up
It encourages me
It breathes to me
