Linens and Gravity

by Meghan Wolf

Pumped a lot of blood

Drew as many breaths

As there are eyes in heads

Took a lot of turns

burying the truth

that this too will end.

Held a lot of hands, 

some of them my own.

None for very long.

Called a lot of crimes

what had to be done, 

simply to survive.

Spilled a lot of time

Trying, trying, trying to save some

more of the time.

Now I go a different way

trying trying trying to take some

some of the time.

I still hate the things I need, 

A place to sleep, linens and gravity

A dying sun

and someone to hold my mind for me

Lost a lot of love,

trying trying trying to find some

everywhere.

Now I go a different way

trying trying trying to let some

find me.

Lost a lot of love,

trying to find 

some

everywhere.

Now I go a different way

trying to let some find me.

I hate that every yes to something

means no to every everything else,

but I like coming home to you

where the world seems to know its place.

Lost a lot of love,

trying to find some

everywhere.

Now I go a different way

trying to let some find me.

(find me)

Lost a lot of love,

trying trying trying to find some

everywhere.

Now I go a different way 

trying trying trying to let some

find me.
