heavy
birdless sky
breath hanging like
your silence
close your eyes
heart pounding
like shoes in a drier
want a cigarette now
thought I quit years ago
I will make a joyful noise
mouth open
lies pour out
you know we’re not leaving
you alone now
you will make a joyful noise
hallelujah
you’re still there
beneath the snow
you’re frozen
you’re waiting to be let go
let it go
