Sky Hook

Hanging on to a piece of sky
Arm pulled taut, pinned
Swinging there
I fly
Feet strong to the ground
Head in the clouds
Singing

I’m singing now
Sing without the tears
Coming

I am ready now
With you
I can feel it set in motion
A click and then a whir
The sound rushes in my ears
Dizzying
Your hand is strong and warm at the small of my back
You know me
This is enough   

I will begin again
Somehow
In one small moment it will happen
I will act
Only later knowing it was then
Now
I am yours

O terrible secret
Tell everyone you know
Kept so deep
For gotten gains
Gone now
Sleepy one

If I could place jewels in your footsteps
If I could carry you on wings
If my hands weren’t so small
I would dream you
Over and over the same
And then eat you whole
So that I may know your heart

I do believe that with your love I can make it
I think too hard and then fall apart
My head is so full of broken
Sometimes I forget to just be

Thank you for taking me home
To your heart
It’s where I live now
We will make room for all of these things and find space for some dreams that need time to grow

I said that and you started to talk
The words that came out of you were big and all full of meaning
Thank you for knowing more about this than me
I want to learn

Most of all I just want to stop
Just stop
And be with you

Time can go by
Children will grow up
Only this

In an hour I can show you everything
