'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.
