I would like to tell you
how glad I am that we are not stable
we are building splinters
do you know
how many things were built that no one thought would break?
Thank you
for being my unknown
my steady unstable.
I lean and the rock gives way
and you are there to catch me.
I make a boat out of my love lies
I still hold them but I have met them in hallways
and really they’re less terrifying than I thought they would be.
I name it and throw it and call it freedom
flying with the running water.
I would like to call myself a writer but I have nothing to give you.
Nothing but this.
