important pieces of a puzzle -- pieces of an important puzzle

grace in passive (or: a given)

--of feathers, flight and forces of nature--

your heavy breathing
me, light as a feather
raised, floating up up
soon blown away

to drift is not the same as to dance
-- a senseless feather has no will to move

it moves, being moved.

your strong hand
me, soft as a feather
squashed, flattening more more
soon part of the weave

to cling is not the same as to nestle
-- a pressed feather has no warmth to give

it gives, being given.

listening to the message

"finally" I thought
you had me on the line

a call I'd been awaiting
(trying to resist,
succeeding somewhat)

"you're there" I thought
you had me on the line

the call was cut off short
I was cut off
disconnected

silly me,
I'll keep the old number
in case you'd call again

silly, silly me
