Seven and One
The Weight of It
You’d say they’d ask forgiveness
before permission but that’s a lie
and you know it. Some scaffolding
we built to hold up the world
we think we need.
She’s all gravity. Possession.
He’s all light and the asking of it.
Aint that something. To live
without the weight of it. No sorry
for the space you take. For wanting
what you want. For being
whatever thing you woke up as
in the dust and the morning.
