Reaching equilibrium

My denim leg is perpendicular to my knee,

I continue a light shaking of my foot.

Its constant rhythm seems to match

me internally.

The couch is dull and used,

with a history of insanity and progress.

It never has intimidated me.

I now sink hard into the cushion’s depths.

His opposing presence tranquilizes

the tangents and tragedies.

My mouth releases words

that first entered the gates of my conscious

with astonishing ease.

I am a balance,

it’s all about the balance.
