in the warm hush

in the warm hush of a thousand bodies the vibrations of all my life so far and all it will be coalesce into one expanding moment which feels like the start and the end of a holiday or a school term all in one containing every achievement every loss adventure possibility emotion the full drama of being human in this world on a continuous sine wave swooping the lows to highs of existence without breaking sweet tension from the second it all goes quiet til as long as it takes for someone to speak the end of the spell after the music stops

what if I burst

breathe

(sometimes, go dramatically alone to music you love and take the long route home at the back of the bus)
