you’ve only a vague idea of
which way we should go
and
you don’t know what it will be like
when we get there
and
i don’t think i’ll be any different
even if we do

the birds will be chirping
regardless

what does a scared little boy
know anyway?
but what he is afraid of
and when to run?

so weak that but time
and silence are all that
are required to slow your
heartbeat down to none
