Somebody Stop Me

Out of breathe,

scentless,

making up an address to write stark notes to in intense ways as I intonate in jest,

somebody swims within me,

I let bread be dead,

I hold onto it ethereally,

I cross roads internally,

I don't exactly know how to tell your person this- 

so here it is...

This is like rivers of calm for somebody soft,

but the same for war for my forging of tongue,

two trips for the road,

10 for a kid,

fear of panoply,

or was it ***********?

The randomness of fault of crust,

the deepest void in earth,

a swollen tree root exposing the real truth.
