Just Finish

I start and I start And I just know I’ll finish So I start some more But the secret is to finish At least that’s what I heard We’ll see some day -Saschia

The words won’t slip out. My legs twitch with electricity and my mind black as the deep blue. I’ll fish and meditate and search for a hook but when nothing comes all I have left is a defensive rotation between force and small rests -Saschia
