forgets its dance moves, lifted too
high to feel the ground

on the way to

you, the window
blurs, station after
station, i greet
every wayfinder
that can keep me
grounded

we carry the years
we carry the years
of change and toil in our bodies
to stay grounded, to
float – even chameleons must
become weary of adapting

engaging in sword-
engaging in sword-
play while in flight doubles the
danger, triples the
fun – we rarely acknowledge how
hard it is to stay grounded

it’s been some time since
we’ve dreamt of flight – minoring in
how to stay grounded

even in helping us
even in helping us
pick out new chairs
for our first dining
table, dad doles
out words of
wisdom, eyeing
ones with backs
supported by
a spine that reaches
like a tree downward,
rooted and firmly
grounded,
so that we can
sit up straighter,
remembering
our own roots

for every eighty-
for every eighty-
six trees that want to remain
grounded, there is one
that not only yearns for more
light, but will be willing to fall

tried to stay grounded, living
at the top of the world, downtown

i do not know how
i do not know how
to proceed from here –
you have finally
asked me to stop
writing, in the middle of
winter, perhaps requiring
a new window
treatment for the
bedroom, a
lining or two
thicker to retain what is
left of the warmth in here,
a fabric carrying more
weight, so that i stay
grounded, thoughts do not
drift, every time
i undo and redo the
tieback, cold fingers
lingering for light
