That "breath before a first word is uttered" registered. - I know what that feels like. It's everything that's been going on in my head, talking to myself, memories, what-ifs, speculation, determination, hope - all rolled into a breath, all on fast-forward colliding into a moment. You captured that magnificently with that line.
The entire poem is visceral and beautiful, and all to describe something we do everyday for a minute or two. So much so, I was getting flashbacks from this morning. So good.
"What needs to be said
says itself in weather"
This is gonna stick with me for a while. Well done!
