all that lives is swisscheese holey where the gaps collapse and the space is enough to drown in - found swimming on another shore the core values in the shallows seem too deep to ignore the metaphor I never liked and all the cliches to grow on - we're so strong we mail ourselves reminders of where to find our centers as the galaxies expand - the dry land we planned for always flooding with regret - well met and still unsteady as the baskets come back full - berries balanced between sun and explosion - uncertain devotion and constant salutation - laying down in patience and rising up with plans - scandal in a winter coat, turning white to red
