Unified with the written word... [Week 1 entry for brigits_flame]

She was a thousand times

more a poet

than you.

She had syllables

filling heart chambers

metaphors

fused

to cardiac tissue

She had rhythm

from atrium

to ventricle

She had twilight

in deep hollow lungs

constellations

contained by breath

and bone

Alveoli

shuddering

wondering

at each inhale

what would come

next.
