Up, up and away
I watch my heart
Catch a fiery breath
and run underneath me
I feel it's legs
Pitter patter
While giggling like the mad hatter
I reach out to
Hold onto each exhale
But they escape, to no avail
I scramble to latch onto something —
Anything —
That could tie me down
To solid ground
I attempt to diffuse
Bombs and hammer down
fallen loose screws
I tell myself that I am safe
Even though the air chokes me
and i can't catch a break
It robs me of sleep
It knows its sleek
When it imprisons me
And all I can do,
Is wave a flag in defeat
