we negotiate
with our bodies as if we
could take a day off
here and there to maintain some
sort of a balanced diet

the things you keep and

the things you take away – a
fine balance, almost

unevenness triggers growth,
keeping us balanced

come along, place them in balance,
transform them into meaning

every moment, a
on a scale of walking
on a scale of walking
into traffic and
walking into the sea,
last night i
chose the sea,
and when i reached it,
you called me
out of the blue,
an accusatory tone
in your voice,
taking me back
to the days when
i’d arrive at my
childhood home
and not ring you up.
i was found out,
i leaned the
heaviness against you
so that i could
find a new
balance, and you
shifted so that you
could accommodate
the weight. i
wandered alongside,
instead of into,
though the sound of
the waves will always
compete with your voice
