upwelling

would you still live forever 
if we get nothing?

you sent a wish for your life 
in the beak of a bird and it gets

swallowed at the squall line
I have heard a mouth without teeth

pray louder before. 

would you die
to have something one more time? exactly as it was.

I have seen thirst turn to salt

a life hang itself, to be free

I have looked behind me, too

would you walk into four walls? to get your wish back,
and you get nothing, maybe.
