Over the Edge<br />
How easily we lose parts<br />
of ourselves.<br />
My youth slipped over<br />
the edge of a sharp pain.<br />
We move in and out of<br />
each other like<br />
shadows through statues,<br />
leaving traces and<br />
grabbing what we can<br />
on this invisible odyssey.<br />
While sliding through your<br />
spine, I placed an ache<br />
in your lower back<br />
You took my sense of<br />
balance when you<br />
roamed inside my brain.<br />
My heart gallops<br />
across the moonscape<br />
on your nightmare.<br />
My mother, slightly tipsy,<br />
walks inside me. I can’t<br />
find my mind anywhere.<br />
An English woman<br />
woke up one morning<br />
with a French accent.<br />
I speak in tongues.
