'It's gravity, baby'
that's how it started--
 
three whispered words 
under the bleachers,
two bodies 
pulled into orbit.
 
From tongues of flame
halting caterwauls 
               breathlessly 
                        stumbled
before cascading into long, thirsty nights
of lying thisclose, seeking new worlds 
and unexplored places
beneath a peeping-tom moon.
 
There's a point during free-fall 
where you pause to consider
whether to brace 
or just to surrender. -
for a heartbeat or two 
you feel like you're floating,
then the ground rushes up
to show you how endings
can sound like beginnings;
 
but that's
just gravity,
baby.
