go easy on me

I stood with my heart between my knees and my lungs up between my eyes and I gasped for a breath of legitimacy I grasped for a guess at infinity and I recognize it wasn't wise but foresight was never defined with clarity and looking back I realize that exhales have always been guaranteed while it's inhales I've taken for granted

feet planted

pounding

prodding

pupating

I stood there and sighed at the sky

I did not move until the wind

tripped me

toppled me

tumbled me

down

my own

ravine
