redemption or something resembling

push the envelope and pass it across the table. wind myself into a knot until there is no choice but to tease out the details. figure it out by fucking it up. switch the camera from zoom to pan.

emerging from a week spent in stasis. as frozen lips thaw i remember the names of everyday objects. i am floating beyond the free fall. there is peace to be found in the tea shelf and the steady descent of the sun.

i am yet to articulate what this means but i can tell you what this means to me. i know this now: you save me. your breath is not wasted when it catches mine and transforms it into something that reminds me who i am.

these gestures are not small and they give me grace.
