equilibrium
you’re not here today
in your usual place
inside me
where your presence
is so intense,
overwhelming
that i MUST
find a way
a way to feel you near
a way to feel physically close
just to establish
equilibrium
maybe i’m too tired
to navigate the wire
to teeter
precarious
arms flailing
nerves wound tight
your slack in the rope
never allows me
equilibrium
today you’re not here
it’s sadly pleasant
i am balanced
in my classicly
imbalanced way
today you’re not here
and i
i have
equilibrium
