BLUE’S T HOUSE

M-
there’s something Atlas about you,
but I think you’re learning how to gravity.
not the type that scrapes your knees
you’ve been down there too long, no, not anymore
the kind that makes sunlight kiss your scars in the morning,
nursing coffee steam soothing hearts “awake”
That gravity that pushes and pulls serendipity and magic
she speaks the language of instinct and knowing urges,
and speaking of tongues,
you know this is just the tip of the iceberg, right?
don’t confuse glaciers for frozen poles.
only one of those can cool down our recent burns.
