Lizzy Burnam 🐞

On a scale of ape to entrepreneur, 
how often do you forget to breathe?

If you could take an ice pick 
to the scar tissue in your lungs, 
wouldn’t you? 

When the wolves return, 
won’t you face them?

Who will wait for you 
while time coils tight 
around your neck
like a snake? 

Have you ever met a storm 
you wouldn’t chase? 

Isn’t running just a man’s game? 

What’s the difference 
between an escape and a retreat? 

How long should we miss you 
before we fish you out of the water?

Why listen for sirens 
when the birds still sing? 

Where does your pain hide
while you’re performing?
