A calcified valve
is what years without tears
will make
I look down at my own toes
and notice that they are
slowly turning to stone
I know that sand
running through your veins
will wear away all the rough edges
We share jokes
that can only be heard
in the dark
The same dark
makes the living feel frozen
and I am turning into a snowball
Walk this life
between vapor and ice
swim for as long as you can
