How to give up 

Are you giving up 

Is it time to let it all fall 

Sneaking out of the rubble 

Changing the story 

Saying goodbye

Quietly

Taking the road you see in your dreams 

Letting the opinions burn in the sky 

Leaving the material 

Giving up the weight 

Letting it master itself 

Reasons 

Not reasons 

No reasons

All of their negative responses 

Dead 

No longer making it through 

Giving up the names

The shame 

The predictable answers 

All of you fall 

All of you disappear 

And now its quiet 

Now its soft 

Now there is space without expectations 

As it sits and waits for the choice 

How to give up 

How to give in 

How to give 

Giving
