Breathe

Days I enjoy are days when nothing happens, When I have no engagements written on my block, When no one comes to disturb my inward peace, When no one comes to take me away from myself And turn me into a patchwork, a jig-saw puzzle, A broken mirror that once gave a whole reflection, Being so contrived that it takes too long a time To get myself back to myself when they have gone.

Please. I am trying to love but I’m not sure how to. It feels like untying a bandage that has been cutting off blood circulation. It feels like learning sign language, the first time you bit into a lemon thinking it an orange, a new taste on the tongue. Please. I am trying not to leave creases in everything I touch, trying not to shatter the rain. I am trying to exist like a slow-dance, seeking to rein quaint myself with forgiveness. With passion. I want to love like a mural with so many colours you don’t know where to look first. I want the brush strokes to be thick and brutal. God knows I’m trying. Please. Be patient with me. I am making up for lost time, I am learning to unclench from a tight fist into an open palm before it is too late.
