Waiting for rain

Hold a shaky breath
Settle syncopated heartbeat
Palpitate anticipation
Calmly,
Soon you can let go
Soon

There's only one moon left
One night of stormy preparation
Show the world your final
Goodbye
Jump into the abyss
Head first
Kiss the border of no mans land
Shake fist at the fakery
Let go
properly.

Sort out your heart strings
File away the apathy and quicksand
Leave only notes of gratitude
Dripping paint
Drawings of open hands
And a photo of
Once upon a time

Bury it all behind you,
Refracting sky bends
Dream into night
Take a breath
Give a breath
Rest your weary thoughts
On a headstone

See how the grass gives her shade
To ants and lesser beings

Learn to do the same
