Inhale, Exhale
February 22, 2019
Inhale
Close your eyes
Let your thoughts become ice
Exhale
Inhale
Stretch your chained-up mind
What once was entwined, now is unconfined
Exhale
Inhale
Calm your stallion heart
Love is abstract art
Collect what's left and restart
I moved from under your manchineel tree
From the reach of your poison ivy
You couldn't intoxicate me
Or harm me anymore
