to this singular point,
the tilt that says I’m listening,
that small shift of forward,
as if gravity itself
has changed direction.
There is an art
to being fully present,
to announce
without speaking.
Trust, how it leans in
with its whole body,
open, flank exposed.
I’ve been trying to learn this,
the courage of openness,
the generosity of showing up
exactly as you are,
unguarded, tongue out, heart first.
