"Time is the substance from which I am made. Time is a river which carries me along, but I am the river; it is a tiger that devours me, but I am the tiger; it is a fire that consumes me, but I am the fire." 
-Jorge Luis Borges

do you ever just 
need the music loud
enough to step into
like it's a room
you're standing in the middle of
but also 
your body 
is the room
and the music just
inhabits
every inch and molecule
of you
and your being
and in so doing, you are 
being
embraced
embodied
embalmed
able to breathe again
and you reach for 
the will 
to go on
