Poetry Drafts / 2 September 2017

became (void)

as I became aware
building up became stacking needles of pine
as I became aware
settling down became sitting down
as I became aware
pause for breathing became breaking of heart
as I became aware
tickling feet became turned backs at night
as I became aware
the plan became
void
