Attunement
i follow your pulse to a hum,
sonar transmits from breastbone to ear.
i hush myself to the same degree
of separation that pupils dilate.
a single alley bulb casts silhouettes and
harbors walls in an exhausted room.
rip apart my rib cage, and build back
more fragile next go-around.
simplicity now resolves itself through
the rhythm of manual breathing.
to merely know myself within it,
it is all that lingers from you.
