breathe 2010

breathe moves this 2010 to

coming out of breathlessness.

wild (part 1)

oh, little child,
flee this moment that hurts you.
run away if you must.
go farther and deeper into the wild
to escape into the unknown.
panting. trembling. fainting.

take cover behind those rocks
to momentarily hide from your monsters
until you are ready to match their piercing stare,
until your courage exceeds your insecurities.
