Keep Sake

In our minds who do we see ourselves as. The coffee we drink the hobbies we ply, the places we live and the cloths we wear, the books we've pretended to read, the chairs we sit in, the pots we cook our food with.

It’s always a battle 
against gravity. 
things not put away
a middle toe found  
between the pruning sheers and the center of the earth.

When someone falls, 
faints, 
has a heart attack, 
is punched out in the ring, 
their heart is broken… 

first thing
get them up. 
if they can only stand 

gravity can be fooled, 
misled 
not notice the break in resistance 
a prone body flaunts 

It knows

We know it knows
we need to forget 
if you can only stand

how close to gravity’s clutches we are
how precarious the balance 
stars can’t escape
we can be forgiven
we are only made of stars
