time is never-endless
the clouds rush past
the grasshoppers whisper
their daily anthem
more jagged breaths to punctuate our sentences
feel the hardened pit of the stomach
swamps of insects seep into our heads
threading out fibres from the brain
our bodies shiver irregularly
you feel it too
pretending to sleep
the sun rises
end an exhale
starts with an inhale
every person
ends up somewhere we all
start somewhere
to times like these
that don’t last
nothing (lasts)
