I could wait forever.
I could wait for mountains to move,
for ice to melt,
for fires to burn,
for enough space to be cleared between us to finally see you clearly.
But I won’t.
Because I’d rather be dynamite.
And I’ve blown out the wicks on enough TNT to have the time anymore:
Not to love myself.
Not to feel myself.
Not to hear myself.
Not to be myself.
I don’t have the time not to swing from crescent moons,
explode into stardust,
rain sparks onto budding wildflowers.
So I could wait,
or I could just go.
