afraid of breaking

Monday, June 09, 2008

woken
from a
fever-dream

and she's there.


tightrope

not enough to push her away
not enough to be exposed

balance

afraid of breaking

is it real?
am i imagining it?

seems real enough
seems

have i left my guard down?

this might sting a little

maybe

maybe

maybe it's real

(can't be)

maybe it's the real thing

(don't count on it)

authentic

(what do you know?)

don't push too hard
don't push too soft
don't let go

afraid of breaking

her

me

us

between the lines
(don't push too hard)
straddle the fence
(don't let go)
hold the course
(afraid of breaking)

fine lines

I wake up
from a
fever-dream

and there she is.
