Perhaps We Don’t Lose the Elasticity of Our Skin
Perhaps we don’t lose the elasticity of our skin
perhaps it just changes
comes into closer relationship to gravity
gets intimate with the pull of the earth
Perhaps this is what our skin is meant to do
to wear the colors of the sun
bend and fold to the touch of the wind
hold a pile of laughs
or a mound of tears in a wrinkle
Perhaps we don’t lose the elasticity of our desire
perhaps it just changes
comes into closer relationship to gravity
gets intimate with the pull of the earth
Perhaps this is what our desire is meant to do
to come to rest in the hand of your lover
go quiet on the front porch of disappointment
caress your merciful heartbreak
into a new dawn of longing
Perhaps I’m not losing myself to time
perhaps I’m just changing
coming into closer relationship to gravity
getting intimate with the pull of the earth
The thin membrane that holds
in from out
up from down
is becoming more vulnerably
transparent
