short brims, unfilled

i will never be the writer that makes long pages filled
i tell a story through the words of my short breath
i use words i know by heart to not confuse
i write it all down in a sitting to not forget
short poems are my fancy you see
to match the span of my attention
short poems with a story that fills long pages to its brims
i cannot express my true thoughts to you
for my brain is too vast
i speak what my short breath can manage
i leave the rest for you
for you hear my story and dissect each word
treat me as i am an object with an edge
sharp as a knife
read my eyes
read my words and feel me in them
hear my shallow breathing and feel my truth
