hand out the window
out into the frigid air.
the cold tingling numbness.
the bite.
this is how i know i'm alive.
teeth clenched.
my jaw sore with the pressure.
fists punching. eyes angry.
the fight.
this is how i know i'm alive.
saying no.
saying yes.
she'll give in.
she's alive.
flower bursting blooming swearing daring to explode in her head.
a dance. a dream. a body ignited.
an ache. a wonder. give me something.
she is quiet.
she's found her peace.
a moment here... sitting.
breathing.
feeling.
crying.
here i am.
alive.
this is beautiful.
