drunk with ourselves and giddy with each other
whirl in dance into the infinite
playing the best and only game
the only game
flinging ladders across the void suspended
in midair waiting
to be met halfway
the next step, step again
climb until you run out of rungs and
take the next step in perfect trust
a thrust into the mist, the gist
I understand!
I understand!
spirit-jumping into the world
or out of it. out of time
eternal in between
with no way to fall
word-woven nets unneeded
unheeded in the silent knowing
to keep talking when you feel complete
when there can be no more pretense
and still you allow yourself to pretend
that the golden settling whole
is not gathering around you
but it's getting harder to breathe joy instead of air
the longer you try not to notice
the longer it stays, the only unicorn in the room
the elusive flocking to your beauty
in this moment
filling the world to the brim
the holy grail
the space in the center of two overlapping circles
and a heartbeat.
How can you be afraid? How can you not
be? afraid for the dissolution of affinity
the hesitation, a waver in-
complete trust
afraid to scare it away
the only measure how far from the center
your fear takes you
the conversation in-dwelling
dancing with you as you
pretend that you are not the mystery
that shines in all your faces.
