maybe leveling
maybe leveling
up requires a sacrifice,
a death for which we
need not grieve –
we are practicing
taking off our
armor in front of
each other, one
heavy piece at a time –
the sudden lightness
unbalances us

we strike a balance
we strike a balance
between lightness and heaviness,
managing only
what is sustainable, trying
not to lead each other astray

fried chicken on the
fried chicken on the
table, sweet potato fries
on the side – nothing
comes close to the delicious
conversations they evoke

like wanting to be near when
we are apart – let
this to be something to chew
on when we are together

let us not forget
let us not forget
this feeling, even when we
have not quite
identified it – a gelatinous

guilt if you don’t –
stuck treading
words that have been
said, flutter kicking
into words that have
been left unsaid

semblance of control, loosed words

the best conversations are
the best conversations are
not tiptoed through,
but rather
petitions for noisy
steps, a solid rhythm
for a dance number –
tap, tango, foxtrot,
an easy
swing. so long as
when our hands
meet, there is still
enough room for
understanding, we
have not strayed
too far
