issues.


we weighed a lot today
obese opinions heavy
on my chest, on our breath
sometimes too much
to swallow, sometimes too many thoughts
and feelings thrown up into space
spiraling down at the wrong time
and usually land on our heads
we sit here, all sore and red, bruised and beautiful
wondering if it's worth
carrying the load
wanting to forget breaking scales
only balancing them
wanting to be light
for this moment and simply enjoy
each others silence.
