we move slow

ebb

flow

embers flick

flare

our lids

grow heavy

tidied sidewalks

sometimes things just don't match up

at least not at first

like mowing the edges of overgrown headstones

where the weeds sprout and the grass grows long

just to come back a week later

to see those leafy limbs pushing back

like sweeping fallen petals and cig butts

from one end of the sidewalk

to the other

but sometimes its just about doing it

or doing something

you know?

wrapping your fingers around that contented feeling

like you have control 

over the weeds

or petals

or cig butts

thinking that maybe one day you'll go back

and the edges will still be trimmed

and the sidewalk still tidied

but we know better

don't we?

let me out

i need some fresh air

i need to clear my head

my walls are moving

and growing something fuzzy

i need to get outside

i need to touch something damp

my floor creaks all night

and the grooves are spitting up hair

let me out
