Exhaustion

what you won't hear
what you will never hear from me:
pieces of words that fit together
unheard
like a mantis prayer
but still i bother
like a bite that's stronger than it's size
a little thing that breaks the sky
like a box jellyfish
a crack in a sheet of stratus clouds
a golf ball at the speed of light
one unit 
fulfills its purpose in it's own way
but right now
it needs to rest.
