transient & love

[8.19.06]
filling in blocks of hours in a day for your education
filling in 8 glasses of water to hydrate
filling in moments of time slipping away
feeling movement and pressure build up in a week

and that is your life
wasted beneath the sheets
miracle happens when you're asleep

filling in 12 hours on the dot w/o a minute being paid
filling in shots of liquid waste to wash off the dirt, hands off inhibitions late
filling breaths of air to the drone that's become your everyday face

and that is your life wasted beneath the sheets

now put it on repeat.

--
we give, we give, and we give
until our nothings become something precious.
and that is the beauty and curse of sacrifice.

i give, i give, and i give
not because i have material riches to spare
but because i love, i love, i love

and i am loved in return.
