the distance between two points.
is a fiddler’s tightrope, a poet’s game.
it is too far to jump (without closing your eyes)
if you fall, you won’t fall
there are too many ties.
it is too far to skip
and too far to walk,
but if you have heart, you can listen
and dance across.
This is beautiful. The words themselves seem to jump and skip, but hesitantly. Beautiful.
