Leap of Faith



I'm attracted to gravity, the weight of it

the way it settles into a palimpsest 

of belonging 


Children   best friends   puppies   homes 

friends   in-laws   all them totems 

of becoming


Yet: new laughter moves me, old words 

bend my mind--press guesses 

into being


We can enter spaces where time fades 

earth freezes or poles thaw us

into belief
