accelerate

the standstill is only on the
windowsill, in the darkest kisses
or the underwater,

and the heart is the hardest part
to wax and freeze when it trickles down
through sobriety's fat fingertips.

so i wonder why we rise and fall
at all, to catch up to the last soul
who laughs at our sizzling fate -

there's no need to seek comfort from
the trembling sea when the only
one trembling is me.
