clenched fists, opened hands, flexing

who leaves the garbage piling
up, waiting for a helping hand

in the middle of
the night, the mind runs
errands the body
pretends to know
nothing about,
reshuffles everything

hidden beneath
our poker faces

system, somewhere
between star
and planet – an
aurora. inside
our veins, somewhere
between heart
and hand – a
tugging.

in flight, we become

in flight, we become
without language, for a brief
moment, molecules

rattling in their cellular
cages, till you take my hand
