angst cycle (ii) — i am the air

i wasn’t supposed
to be the air
but the flood

NO
i should have said
THIS IS THE FLOW
i should have said
I’LL TAKE YOU MY WAY
i should have said

but i am the air

& i know
there’s water
on your breath

that’s dangerous
it makes hurricanes

that’s the air
that’s me
hurricanes

i can hurt
where hurt
shouldn’t happen
