What binds your tongue?
Buries the unseemly
Deep down in soundlessness

Such pressures,
erupted the port of Beirut into scenes of collapsing ceiling
Crushing the pope
Dressing the bride in smoke and ash

Don’t you forget that encased
in the chest of a man slowly caving
beneath the weight of steel
a single heart was kept beating
for 7 days.

That is the rhythm we must dance to

Don’t be so rigid
Breathe out your ills
The heaviest air is much lighter
than a body full of iron.
