full of no one and every one
and i can see, in truth that looms
all the shaking you cover up
pressed under skin like a hiccup
i can see you now, you tremble,
hear the jolts of your heart ignite
feel your words, in the air, fumble
and i wonder who you see out there
when your eyes stop and stare.
i hear your self deprecating humor
the laugh that hides the face of you
and the pain that quietly murmurs
that travels through you and into
the sky, reflected in its mirror
all the fears that you so feared.
if i could, i would kiss your trembling lips
and soothe those fallen words
until i twist and break and flip
them to mean what you mean to say.
i want to step beside you, calm
the tremor, take your shaking hands in mine
and let you fall apart in my palms
like a landslide coming down.
but i would find you again,
in the crumbles of you,
in the avalanche, and begin
to hold onto to you until the earth
stopped trembling with
your shaking hands.
