i wonder if that barren winter tree shivers in the wind

wishing on its last leaf for the revitalizing life of spring to come sooner.

i wonder if that isolated cloud feels the weight of the rain it carries

periwinkle-blue light through my shuttered windows

my heart is racing but my mind is blank with things I don't know how to express

that k-drama I just watched stirred something in me

The rush of information from a single swipe

Is a current that threatens to sweep me away

Each new voice adding another issue to the many already bouncing around my head.

The late nights usually surrendered to sleep

Are instead spent rolled over on our sides

Eyelids weak and the arms that hold up our heads weaker

As we run rivers of words out of our mouths.

The portal opens in those fleeting moments that feel like they are about to crescendo, about to climb the final step to see over the mountain top.
