whispers

how do i whisper the words of longing
how do i whisper words of love
with a mouth full of ash
with ambers smouldering on my tongue

how do i prepare myself
how do i get ready
for the fall that is visible
after flying long and hard

how do i grit my teeth
how do i hold my breath
till my face is as blue as my heart
till my eyes see supernovas and stars

how do i sift through the sand
how do i wade through this water
that threatens to burn me
that threatens to drown me
