Suddenly

suddenly we are contained
catching breath
curling around words
collapsing the in/out/in/out
suddenly we are no longer safe
we are carriers
fragile multipliers
forging our weaponry
forgetting ceasefire and treaty
to feel “fine” in our bodies
we are bearers
aspen-grove braided
and complicated
and shared
what a time to be alive
