A Breath for You
A poem
what if you’ve finally arrived what if now’s the time to stop and what if you’re finally ready to go
what if you’re breathing a broken string you’re reading — so pluck it out push it in or leave it be
it could be the one thing holding you back from the spin
what if you’re strong and you’ve grown tired of the scaffolding’s aesthetics
what will you do when you say yes will you accept your invitation on your behalf
will you name your life who you’ve always been
what if you finally let yourself win
