Narrow Arrow





      Turn up the volume.


      It makes my bones vibrate.


      Floating on the dead sea,


      rabbits could swim too.


      Crossbars and fault lines...


      if you squint through the tears


      they blur and shrink.


      I can feel the wind stroking my face.


      It wants me to feel okay.


      Everybody says that


      "It's okay,"


      but we all have different courses we take.


      The only one who wants me to be okay,


      truly,


      is me.


      Life is a circus.


      It can be scary


      or it can be fun.


      It can be morbid and cruel


      or the air can ring with laughter.


      We can taste the salt


      trickling down our faces;


      close our eyes


      and smile.
