Belligerent Poetry

brought on by breaks

brought on by breaks

moments between us, moments of shame
thoughts set adrift to each other
brought back inbetween
people that clash
people that dream
& i'm sitting here
with my heart in my mouth
hoping that coughing
isn't letting it out
briefly believe in it all,
before the break
again brings me down
sets me back in my shoes
& ushers me out into dawn.
