words oh words you fail me again and again the universe in my belly a strange vessel expanding without you i’m coming apart at the seams

spiraling spiraling heat light and wave pushing outward and me a vault i beg you the key or tumble the lock i am ready to rain my cloud is full

every word here a forgery of feeling each a failure emotions wild rearing to run head- on into and over the fence a flood to change maps forever is rising
