The Moment Spills

such quiet, a pin could drop
so deep, the rock would
never stop travelling
so far, way beyond words
and arms and voice, all
things you can possibly touch

and the beating heart - fragile
drum, will stop and enter
the silence, to still, and
carry me past its visceral
alarms - fist closes but

nothing is there, the garden
dirt spills so near on skin
I will never be here
in this moment again
