Waiting for the J-14, On My Way to You
by Sareen Equality
We would sonder through every and all of it with fingers tangled, unwavering, so our heartbeats
pound against each other in turn
Bandaging the grief because it had been our turn.
You were endless and unbolted. Fascinated that it went belligerent because I scream silent, not letting it
be my turn
Candidly, it was your turn
The space was orchestrated, in whole, with you in mind because I took your turn
It had to take a turn since my stomach falls empty when I see you carelessly shattered on the streets of
the city
Nothing had been more obvious than your return,
You bludgeoned our core with a downturn then wiped your hands clean with my fears
and with that, I had made it known that I would take my turn
Because it will always be your turn
When I close myself wide enough, you let me have a turn
