to which side?
I’m on the hill, again
looking right
to morning Clouds, over
cars, resting
bumpers, peaking
–sniffing the view
up there,
alone, but together
in the lot
that's becoming usual
I pull grass
I hold seeds for a step or
two, and
I let them go – with a thought for the day,
up there, ahead
in brick – clicking and
typing,
breathing and holding
breath
I feel the dirt, shifting
gravel, trickling
slow
off my shoes
– gifted, recently
to walk comfortably
into something new,
I suppose
what will that be?
I ask the sky each morning
and the ceiling each night
I close my eyes and find myself
on top of the wall,
again
I know I’ll fall
but to which side?
