what we keep alive at all cost
I say to you across the wires—
the distance clear, silent
what we cherish
I say
and you inhale then,
deep and wide,
as if my voice has traveled
thousands of miles,
has suddenly filled
every inch of you
what we agree
you say
what we agree to carry
is our affliction
the sole point,
I hear myself say—
#Affliction isn’t what happens to us.
It’s what we agree to keep carrying because we love.
