Hardworking lump
labyrinth of mental grit
you eat information
like plankton
and you are the whale
you clamour to know everything
except how to
stop
it evokes terror in your winding nest
for you are the momentum of more
but don’t you see
just because we rest between meals
doesn’t annihilate
the belly
you have my permission to pause
recline against the dome of my skull
exhale your responsibilities
your regrets
there is a heart
in the back row
who has been waiting patiently
for so long
for her turn
to answer.
