there are words you

there are words you
wish you can say only
in water – words from
which you can swim
away, as if you didn’t
know how they
surfaced, floating equal
distance between two
desperations still treading
allegiance, waiting
to be saved

there is so much

there is so much
promise in the
simple readiness
of a pair of
shoes, primed
for confidence,
aged for
comfort. in
between the steps
we take and
the steps we
avert, there is
unswerving
allegiance in
every landing

in a southern

in a southern
hemisphere winter,
i would hold you
with the
allegiance of
constellations –
neverminding
that it feels
like Christmas
in July and
the Belt becomes
the Saucepan
