Inhale, Hold

lean back bend bones joints
snapped & smoked- i can
see the words i spoke in 
vibr
ating letters gyrating plaid
sweaters tangled by the neck,
i wasn't looking fast, so quick
-wreck, bleeding bricks- joked
the nervous tick, afraid of the 
bed he made. don't
miss the cause, burning bras,
passing laws- don't
fight the mender, seamstress of
sight, dirty defender- inhale,
hold, don't
let it go- 
so easy.
