balance
i don’t think
about equilibrium when i’m at your side.
i don’t have to try
to make you see through flaws
like flecked, dripping honey
& every other time:
i break the glass because
i pull the rope too hard
& this time:
you know just how to hold me without
losing track of my soul, how to
count my tender veins and trace them
on my skin &
i trust you
like the sea trusts the sky
i don’t think
about falling when i’m at your side.
i know your arm is there to catch me
if the tight rope gets too thin.
the push/pull, the perfect weight— you are
what i never thought was possible.
& every nerve ending on fingertips, every
strand of hair & every inch
of tender, warm skin: trust.
& that is the water of the rain, the golden
thread tying bone to bone.
you show me
how to live the world in saturation, how to
scream from rooftops and
gently melt into setting sunlight. you teach me
that best harmony
