this moment

in this very moment

we can’t hold on
we can’t rewind
we don’t have a time machine —
not outside of movies anyway

reality doesn’t offer a rewind button
the past is closed
the future is foggy

maybe I won’t even have the next moment
maybe all I truly have
is this one

this split-second breath
right here
right now

and it’s mine
to spend
to shape
to love

I want to dance it out —
every drop of it
every second I have left

I don’t see the point
in living it any other way
