falling up

"The minute i'm disappointed, i feel encouraged.
When i'm ruined, i'm healed.
When i'm quiet and solid as the ground, then i talk
the low tones of thunder for everyone."
-Rumi

my soft roar goes in then out
love, you're everywhere: in
pigeon flights, paper scraps
coffee steam, my heart
swells charged lightning
i am drunk on the night
sky, your name: a pillow of air
rushes up under my crepe
wings and i touch the face
of god.
