start.
a sudden crash
burn
incoherent stuttering
realizations
no
please
make it...

pause.
silence
eyes not open
eyes not closed
frozen
in apology
frozen
untouched
not quite broken
yet
make it...

rewind.
summer rain
fog
laughter
clarity
so clear
so lost
gone
no
make it...

play.
return to now
loud
deafening
piercing
icy
burning
wishing
yearning
please
make it

stop.
