we strike a balance

we strike a balance
between lightness and heaviness,
managing only

what is sustainable, trying
not to lead each other astray

five months and two

five months and two
hundred dumplings into
our version of
the pandemic, we
cope by folding,
folding the monotony
of survival and
trauma into smaller,
still smaller vessels,
containable

sleeves – almost
more manageable
when bite-sized

let’s expect more, says
no one ever, at least not
for real, managing

our own expectations to
be sorely disappointed

to manage and hold

to manage and hold
simplicity, the universe
maps out new
configurations of
gears that must

precision.
whether taking on
the city, the woods, or
each other, we do
the same thing –
listen intently
for only one
another’s clicks

we always manage

we always manage
to find a view, area
investigated,

targets acquired, where we
stand together, mouths open
