I never lived with balance

I always wake up nervous

Light comes at me sideways

I hold my breath forever



I never lived with balance

Though Ive always liked the notion

I feel an endless hunger

For energy and motion

Open

Open

Open



I never lived with balance

I want to feel you near me

Theres an aching in my hipbone

Want to let my heart drop open

Its daylight in the city

Theres thumping in the stairwell

Kundalini sunrise

A clamouring of church bells

Open

Open

Open



You like to let me worry

But I dont take you for granted

Come over here and kiss me

Im savouring your picture

The street is filled with noises

Life going up and down

Light comes at you sideways

Enfolds you like a gown
