It's only two steps closer ;
At least there is some progress.
Today, My inches
have become
miles.
The length from my bed
to the
door
must mean I'm off
somewhere far
in another state
-of being,
that is.

(2)
Just a few more dollars
and then I will be there.
Just a few more minutes
and I will be away from here.
Just a few more thoughts
and my heart might sink
on down
down to the bottom of all
this rubble
and yet it'd still be pounding on
and I still would be capable
of taking in air.

(3)
I'll keep to myself, in body
but my heart- you can carry.
for isn't it so
that the body dies from the soul
and only life as breath of lips
fades?
For life of my breath daily
shows no time bonds.

(4)
you're so free to speak
and bound to laugh...
but the only chains
to my heart
are the ones
with your heart wrapped around.

You choked on your words at breakfast time. They slid down with your grains and milk.
I can't help the fact that you don't know how to chew before you try to digest.
