the weight of things




his voice is the impact of a falling plane, ringing
deafness in the ear
setting fear aflame

children laughing is summer rain dancing on a lake
lightly falling,
giddy and free

your eyes are a smile
an open gate
inviting me into more than
what they can see

i bear it in my chest,
the weight of things
heavy and full,
like the flush of lips before a kiss,
the touch of hand imploding stars

everything has its weight
i feel it inside
and carry it
until each thing has
a name
