Balance


Balance

There is distance.
Questions outnumber answers.
No map.
Not even a compass.
Emotions gain weight.
Peaks and valleys
surround her.
Dreams pile up.
What emotion is north?
Love? Sadness? Peace?
She’s not sure.
She is balancing
in the in-between.
Moonlight
on the path
waxes and wanes.
She counts the days.
Recounts his words.
