Some sharks have to keep on moving;
can’t relax, just keep improving,
hitting targets, multitasking:
surely there’s a time for basking?

i will eschew the stop
its harsh finality
leave no drooping
ellipsis and not
question nor exclaim
and doff my caps
suspend my breath
so you can infer
just as you wish

hear her voice soft as a bell
ringing out each syllable
telling me we can be well
know that this is possible
and a peace that can be known
kindness that is comforting
knowing we are not alone
and that that is everything

We were small and unaware:
