we are asked to lean

we are asked to lean
in or sit one out – permission
to pause, only pause

perhaps for the first

perhaps for the first
or second or eighty-fifth
time you are exposed
to an unfamiliar
element, something
outside of your comfort
zone, be curious,
ask before you judge

** in the absence of The Daily Post from WordPress, here’s your daily prompt: exposed

i am not secure –

i am not secure –
when you are halfway across
the world, everything

moves speedlessly, and i am
still looking for the pause button

between touching you

between touching you
and not touching you is an
itch – after a long

absence, the body is dumb,
pauses for recognition

here is the ceremony

here is the ceremony
of you, showing
up, bearing only
memories. here is
the ceremony of
us, sharing the
procedure for
steeping the perfect
cup of tea over
a makeshift
conversation,
observing the
caesura that suddenly
appeared in our hearts

the third of

the third of
September arrives
on the back
of a new
fawn – tender,
exposed,
pausing
between
thickets to taste
mint rain
on grass

certainly more

certainly more
than once
in a lifetime, it gets
caught, entangled
by its very own
hands – the exact
minute, the hour,
is not so
important as the
standstill,
the hungry
gears of time
thwarted,
gnawing
at the adjacent
memories

even a blur

even a blur
pauses for someone
to take notice,
leans into
the moment,
flexes its muscles,
empties its cup
of light

wisdom pauses

wisdom pauses, weaves
a pattern toward the light
an organic structure

in between what we

in between what we
say and do not
say, there are weighty
ellipses nearly
bursting underneath
all that
composure,
and flourishing
commas ready to carve
into each ripened
pause. and still,
we pretend that
we have little
to do with the
delivery – we merely
bend the branches
and allow each other
to pick the fruits
