• I’ll never understand the
    way our love self-

    –like fireworks–
    –my heart– the deep and
    blue never-ending won’t
    -r-e-a-c-h- where
    we are

    it’s not just an echo
    _________
    underneath the
    ribcage’s center, it doesn’t only
    wrestle air {within} skeletal
    e x p a n s i o n s

    as i listen to jesus keeping time on the windshield i am
    reminded why we always
    watch to-gether as p
    black mouth -e x p a n d i n g- lung sky lights u

    the cage echoing
    valley rib echoing
    a {{echo}}

    thundering light pricks
    our hearts
    beating ! - bursting ! –
    against ribbed tree-walls
