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.
