Swings (or How I Felt Today)

By Chad Hollis

my dreams centrifugal
my love centripetal
attenuated

stretched tight and fragile
almost gone already
humming childhood memory
of swings, rhythm
singing, singing
all alone

rolling like water in water
fire in fire
invisible
exquisite

did you hear my voice
or was it just love
crying
holding itself?
I cannot wait
but I always have
so it is always you


there I am:
here again
Quietly awash
in the wound of
too much bliss

I miss you
but love never will
please be me now
I cannot wait.
