#trapeze
Out of touch with the ground
I walk a thin line
I am in lonely equilibrium
A broken umbrella
Swinging to-and-fro
On this trapeze
Coming untethered
From these elapsing heart strings
New love's dividing line
Depends upon its precise timing
Port de bras
The illusion of imponderable lightness
Take a leap of faith
Reach out for me

I trapeze with breath and eyes
cross page of write
It tickles in a golden tone
that opens heart.
I swing from word to word,
Phase to phase,
and Verse to Verse.
I glide in a place
where there’s no time
but for the bird
who whistles at dawn.
I trapeze graceful
with gratitude
for a poets treasure
that graces the mind.

Trapeze artists
Swinging on a denuded branch
Colony of bats

floating it seems
above the cities and Merchants i so desperately Crave to ground through
i cannot faiL
only yOu who haVe conquerEd my doubt
i walk onward
without fear of what iS to come
the smell of popcorn and ridicule is ripe in the air
those who pray for mY failure have ascended my egOtistical ways
you will not touch me
as i stand Upon a rope so thinly cut you wonder of its existence altogether
i know below me lies too much strength to lose
too many lovers have let me fall and not enough saints have held my chariot
i feel too keen to be

Locked knees
On a trapeze
Are sure to cause catastrophes
