Open

I never live with balance
I always wake up nervous
Light comes at me sideways
I hold my breath forever

I never live with balance
Though I've always liked the notion
I feel that endless hunger
For energy and motion

Open

Open

I never live with balance
I wanna feel you near me
There's an aching in my hipbone
Wanna let my heart drop open
It's daylight in the city
There's thumping in the stairwell
Kundalini sunrise
A clamoring of church bells

Open

Open

You like to let me worry
But I don't take you for granted
Come over here and kiss me
I'm savoring your picture
The street is filled with noises
Life going up and down
Light comes at you sideways
Enfolds you like a gown
