blank blank fullness

The tightrope drawn between the I and the He/She/It

Can we jump rope with it?

Or make a noose and hang what's not aligned?

Putting ourselves on trail (trial), as the world burns 

And the kerosene runs down our wrists

The inner tiger foams and spits

I paid for my salvation

By calming my nerves in the midst of an explosion

Tried to deal with the breakdown

And the inner wolf howls and growls

Copy paste copy paste caring that once let me feel something

To give is to get

Some backwards hit

Of safety

"Here I am to save the day!"

Tired of the confirmation

Tired of the bias

The algorithm knows me

Better than my lovers

Better than myself, 

But then I open up

To a stranger on the internet

And I can see

For a split instant

What is the difference

Between a zoom room

And a campfire

Here, take my heart

Learned in part

By my listening

Help is on the way

The damsel in me sighs

My body a drum

Beaten by a hand

Not afraid to go to war

With the dissonance

Sound the alarm

Of my chest

In the early morning dread

What is to come of all of this?

Where I leave my dreams again?

Slipping slipping slipping away they 

Close the door all the way

On the tender warm nightmare of my making
