the world can keep spinning
and it will

the storm can keep screaming
high and shrill

but i’ve got a space in the center of it all
that’s tight and still

 

like a piston in her house
moving
moving
pumping
beating
holding perfectly
in contained fury

·

hold me like that
again
a little while longer

lift me like that
again
til i feel a little stronger

and breathe

in the middle of all this mess
we might just pass the test

if we breathe

’cause the eye of this storm
is solid and warm
when i’m standing my ground
in these enduring arms
that you offer
and wrap me in

completely

∴
