We could skate around
the issue like a figure 8
each falling down forever
the holes of a sideways shape
Where would we be
in this infinity dream?
backward into eternity
or forward toward unknown
We could cut our palms, make a pact
to help each other usher change
mix & match our blood
but the colors stay the same
We could do nothing
simply take a breath
swallow all the stones
we’ve placed within our throats
Truth is we tend to complicate things
in most cases make the bleeding worse
from a fight that isn’t there
to wanting the last word to get in first
What would we do if we
were what we claimed to be?
tumble into eternity
or headlong toward unknown
Falling forever
Into infinity
Sideways always shaping
Who we claimed to be
