breathe

tight and tender
a notion of anticipation
congregating in
the unobservable space
north of my puddly tummy
south of my renegade heart

breathe in two, three, four
hold it two three four
breath out two, three, four, five.

The sweet sensation of relief;
the letting go,
the faith
and optimism
housed in a singular breath,
breathed
with decision.
