Breathe

Breathe

Now.

1, 2, 3

To show you,

to convince myself,

I am not lost

to uncontrollable pain.

I get more done,

I get it all done.

Re directing the super nova

right beneath my skin.

A solar storm.

Notice the smile,

I utter please and thank you

through ground down  teeth .

The smiles awkwardly find their way to my lips.

 I catch you flinching,

as I take a step in.

My body is not used to the tidal waves inside.

Furies

 With the ease of kisses blown into the wind

could level your city into ruble.

Gales

of switch blades with each thought unspoken.

Icicle shards

cut behind my brown eyes.

 Watching the truck blow off the road.

with the swipe of my hand.

I sit there.

Next to you.

And make my heart beat

slow down to the muffled

sound of the engine.

I may curtsey like a good girl,

while

I swallow down swells .

Breathe

Deeply now.

Quieter now.

Let the thunder pour out

Of my fingertips,

and onto the frazzled seats of your truck.

Avoiding critical mass

yet again.

You are not worthy of my storms
