balancing the fall

When
you’ve
been

       on
       the
       cusp
                            of falling for so long

you take a look
at all the things that al­ter your balance.

I’ve been hold­ing to these writ­ten sto­ries and letters
as if keep­ing them down on pa­per re­al­ly trans­ferred them into something.

You look outwardly
and you see the carved rock walls
that will cut you

if

you

fall

and all those who you worry

that will read these words

will

be the wind

to

send you hurl­ing down.

But I promise you, you don’t have that power.

You are not the wind that will pro­pel me down.

Rather the force I will break through to make it to oth­er side.

I’ve been hang­ing in a balance.

I have been danc­ing a tight rope dance.

And as I make this move­ment it will swing in center.

My foot will cas­cade up in har­mo­ny of mo­tion land­ing effortlessly

as the next step with the oth­er foot to follow.
