the edges of myself

words, words, words

if a springboard is what you are

why not propel me as high

and as far as possible?

 

beyond threat

of imagination or existence–

past sighs and romanticism

spurring challenge and transition

expansion and separation

 

a limitlessness

that few can fathom

jumping up and beyond

an unquantified chasm–

 

allowing for the possibility

that you might imagine

soaring alongside me

defying definition.

this perfectly arcing circle

roots stretching down infinitely long

through layers inpenatrable

by all but our love

 

its perfectly arcing circle

carving through time and space

existing within and without

beyond any parameters previously set

 

your perfectly arcing circle

exponentially expanding

encapsulating continents– entire planets

engulfed in a love unencumbered

 

my perfectly arcing circle

constant and true– timeless

without borders, each cell rhythmically

expanding and releasing– an easy breath

 

our perfectly arcing circle

a continuous dance, lasting lifetimes

solid steps and rooted turns

falling endlessly– into outstretched arms
