All of Us
If you lean back into your heels, arms open
You can fall through the earth.
Like hot weld and
On the other side (of the earth)
Is maybe a field but most likely
A person. Knitted into a life you’ve never thought about. And they’ve
Never thought about you and here you are
At the intersection of
What you do and do not know. Together.
Here
You should listen.
The wind that winds around the whole earth whispers in a language you both understand. It always has. Take heed,
Hot weld, human comet. There is an opalescent thread
That binds me to you. You to everyone; all panting animals with headlight eyes.
Place this in your pocket, it is heavy and
You’ll need it later.
