a moment before
you could not feel your lips
and now,
in a second,
they're vibrantly alive.
Isn't it curious how
what seemed like forever
was a split time frame
that
didn't
even
last
a
day?
The thoughts are tumbling
through my mind
like a wave crashing
and circling down into the sand.
My breaths are caught like a hit
in the gut,
and the fear of never being able to
breathe again
strikes
me
down
in
a
constant.
I blinked.
My lips parted.
As a question.
Without
an
answer.
