Confluence

Art by Dan-Ah Kim


I cannot tell you how or why.
I am sitting here in love 
with life and the world. 

Beyond.
Something else emerges. 
As if darkness were meeting light.

a ripple in one space resonates
throughout eternity

What are the parameters of
these false boundaries? What
am I too terrified to unleash?

Once again, my rapture
stretches out in every direction.
I falter… 
for one moment.
                            And.
                                     Tumble.

Wait.
I know what you’re thinking.

Don’t make assumptions.
Don’t say a word.

Just stay.
Bear witness.

Watch me tether
myself firmly to this ground.
