Pain pulses as a breath
Drawing down,
Pulling on the nerves,
Dragging on the conscious mind.
Nimbostratus clouds heavy in their death-cue
Hang above the bed.
I spoke to Him,
Staring at the deep:
We stared our stares,
Connected.
We met,
Compromised;
Warm blankets covering
The pain to keep it well inside me;
And as I writhed,
I bled the strain.
We’re now at one –
Artists drawn together
Needing one another
Though this will be forever.-

sometimes, we need one single person who can confirm, lead, and win over difficult situations.
