i am dove
and tightrope
walker
balancing
act
don’t let
me fall
this time
just wait
just wait
soon enough
there will
be harmony
let me mourn
bend and break
let my heart
scab over
and heal
i will find
my footing
i will
make it
across
“balance” is previously published in Saturday’s Siren (2022).

Actually, I like the published version better. I think it starts with a better flow. And, really, hearts don’t ever heal after breaking, but they do mend. Bones mend after a break. Sometimes they are a bit different afterward, not quite lined up perfectly. Healing implies being like new again. So, the changes worked for me.
