fading down
faded down the stream
concrete steps
marble mouth

should have kept some
for yourself

gone

foam in the air
foam on your hands

eyes roll back

should have kept some
(pride) for yourself

lived like it was on fire
and now
normalcy on a silver platter
don’t drop

so much farther to sink
if you believed it

golden bog
can’t you hold on

Wait Before it Breaks
