088: I never knew the air was/so dense so palpable...

I never knew the air was

so dense so palpable

until there was all this

          distance

between us

I've said this

a dozen different ways now

          I know

 

Language speaks to us

we hear it

but it doesn't touch us

it doesn't curl up and

grow inside you like

a child in a womb

 

I'm not waiting for you

to show up at my door

I want your whole heart

to stay with me

night and day.
