the tap drips
as the glistening torrents
ride away thoughts of the past

i tighten my grip
to stop the excess
wastage, cold and judgmental
unlike the sea

beckoning me to grandstanding
upcoming life
and livelihoods
yes, i see the bigger picture

but i wish to embellish the moment
for until the time comes
where i may cross the partition into a new threshold

inadequacy threatens my daily structural integrity

drive drive drive
strive for breathing

i am breathing now
alone in my kitchen

the tap stops
as i contemplate tomorrow's breakfast.
Happy Galentine's day pretty people. Much love to you, right from the beginning of this account, two years ago, and beyond.
I would love to hear your thoughts and feedback!

I love this. It makes me think of Cape Town, with it’s quickly diminishing supply of water. :/ The contrast between BIG picture problems and the little kitchen tap going drip drip drip.

“i am breathing now
alone in my kitchen”
and isn’t that such a wonderful, terrifying thing?

oh and hey! Congrats on writing on everything PLUS the kitchen sink! :) Do you know the saying i’m referring to?
I hope you’ve had a marvelous Valentines Day! And Happy DAnniversary!
