i am trying again
to hold myself into
the pose the lake holds itself. and
friends let these things go
like dried out pine needles.
have you ever felt how the
day keeps tugging at its corners?
tugging is how you know he
has given up the war,
missing you behind the mirror
but
strangers give more intimacy than a mirror.
be free. be free.
be free from the mortar the pestle and
the humpbacked husband,
from taking the whispers threaded into the air
and smashing them into one place.
i am holding myself
into the pose the lake holds. and
nothing falls to time anymore.
