Balancing Act

for Mickey

balancing on the high

wire, your parents’ world

dizzy at your feet, ants

in a cage charlie chaplining

below, you feel your stomach

blossom against your heart,

your heart itself soaring

through air without benefit

of a net, your eyes blurred

not from tears but the speed

of your blood finding its own

balance, its own

way

jumping off the high wire you find yourself falling deliriously into yourself
