how many times does it beat 
how many breaths
how does the red sparrow eat

how many worries
how many times will i blink
how many sounds within the silence
how many thoughts do i think

how many feelings
how much suffering
how much healing
how much love am i concealing

how many words to quarry a moment
buried in the mind
how many years benighted
opulence already mine

how many places to travel
how many things do i need 
how much time is required for a wish to unravel

how much space does it take
how long will i wait 
on fate, to bring what i deserve.

how many thanks can i give
how many lives have i lived
each more sublime than before.
