what holds us
is rarely the enormous<\/p>\n\n\n\n
a body made of weather
learning to stay<\/p>\n\n\n\n
warmth arranged along the spine
like proof of something
a blue light murmuring
at the edge of the room<\/p>\n\n\n\n
outside a bush
is doing its slow work
each closed thing
pressing outward
into what it might become<\/p>\n\n\n\n
freeze
fight
fly
chill
wonder
cry without knowing why<\/p>\n\n\n\n
all of it
moving through you
the way a season does
without asking permission<\/p>\n\n\n\n
somewhere the world turns
without your help<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and still
something in you
keeps folding toward the light<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the water is rough
i won\u2019t pretend
but you have built
a life
that catches you<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and when you reach
for one true thing<\/p>\n\n\n\n
it arrives<\/p>\n\n\n\n
not all at once
but one small
bright
connection
at a time<\/p>\n\n\n\n
