Grounded

Folder: 
2017

I am not getting smaller,

shrinking with feeling and letting go,

putting up all my defenses

to quit the confusion and instead use your hand.

 

I am not standing too long,

shivering until my bones feel so far away,

they crack like those arches and I am the gate.

 

I am not holding too tight,

forward and back like my constant insanity.

I am not knotting these fishing line heartstrings,

catch and release like those signs used to say.

 

I am not flying or falling,

I think here I am grounded.
