looking glass
on stilts, body made of glass
balancing, holding
steady because
i can be strong.
yet
my reflection is scary.
the height is deep.
solidity is lonely.
the stilts do waver and i can be weary
and if i fall
if i let go, ten fingers released and so very
breakable,
will someone be at the bottom?
or,
better,
even if i break
even if i shatter and fragment, give in
(can i give in?)
will someone at least
hold
me
back together?
