I am standing still.
The sky swoon
Over my glaring soul.
The moon in angst
Over a lover who fell
On my shoulders.
Everything, pressing
On me to move.
Put the stars back
In their place.
Configure the clouds
Into neat nebulous.
The ground down below
My feet.
Stop spinning.
Ask my head,
Be still darling.
So that I may move
Away from the haze.
With all of my body,
Together.
In one collection
Of tremor and rest.
Tell my eyes,
Don’t look down
When you are scared.
Stop shaking.
Plead with the wind,
Swing my hesitating
Hands to halt.
In my heart,
I have always
Been wandering.
How to hold on
To one single moment.
