and if i breathed any slower
the monitor would scream
and i’d be dreaming i was dying

but it’s a different dalliance with the chest now
and i inhale deep to calm the heartbeat
            (the bomb starts ticking when i see you)

      walk in time with my breath my dear
      bestow upon me the gift of time
      connected eyes, mine are ponds
      and yours are a moonlit forest
      after settling from a fire
