I’m not where i am
I’m where something wants to be
in a space what’s unmade waits
kept by silent uttering
as prophecy
and as breath unreleased
i promise for something to be
once my will is mine again
but when it is
i cannot will
on this abyss
so deathly still
but this is not death
it’s stolen breath
a choked nothing
choking me
non being
oh my muse
deliver me
if you’re not true
what will i be?
i wrote my name into a sound
and lost it without ever hearing it out loud
still i expect to be found
and in a torrent i will pour myself out
so the fault is mine
i am here
paralyzed
in existential fear
if i’m not yet, when will i be?
in this world committed to entropy
for you and i, i need to see
life fulfilling like prophecy
potential turned actual
oh my muse, to you i plead
in a breath “let there be”
