Gravity Sings
Gravity sings to me on days like today,
where the way the sun collects in the tender cells
of my terminal skin is bitter sweet,
Dreary profits who want me stranded in fear,
parched and pinched in bitterness,
a wastrel of myself where the pulse
of energy I feel in the morning is severed
from the beauty of apple blossoms
and distant from the joy,
aloft like a kite
or a bird just flying
above the ridges
because she can,
I test the wind on these days
and launch away from the heaviness
of bones and into the sky
just at the edges of leaves
at the edge of the horizon
of so much light at sunrise
caught in the mirrored presence
of a single droplet of night
collected for bees to drink
as sweetest tea.
