the dust dances too

atomic (part two).

i will keep breathing,

yes you taught me how to,

with the wind.

so, even when i mumble,

even when the words

get all jumbled and clogged

up in my throat,

even in the silence

of blank pages and nothing

i’ll breathe bits of air

and tiny gasps. just enough,

enough to recite the words

i wrote down on scraps of paper

for you and all the world.
