A Conversation for Another Day.

Updated: Apr 11

Woman in yellow sweater with red backpack in sunlit forest, looking back. Tall trees in the background with dappled sunlight.

Stomach tight


Heart fast


Across my mind float patterns past


Vision tunneled


Tongue swollen


Not the reaction I would have chosen


Eyes glazed


Lungs yawning


I know I can’t say what I’m wanting


Jaw locked


Heart brought low


I wish I didn’t have to know


That you can’t hear me


Mind scattered


Ears rushing


Our two meanings refuse to be touching


So I need to walk away


We can try again another day


When you have the space


For me
