i open my palm and my lifelines look like branches from an aspen tree,
and there are songbirds perched on the tips of my fingers,
and i wonder if beethoven held his breath
the first time his fingers touched the keys
the same way a soldier holds his breath
the first time his finger clicks the trigger.
we all have different reasons for forgetting to breathe.
