“Our tongues have a cadence.”

They move to whatever they move to and I don’t think we’ve taught them how to

roll stack

slide swirl

push p u l l play

so effortlessly

off of and on top of

around but never

at expense of one another.

their synchronicity teaches me to displace my worry

of where things will go

because yes, things will go

but what if things go

in an endless spiral cadence

like our tongues

who know

in a language we know

but are shy to speak

and this language is a balance

latch linger let go

go

live live

hold on

dance drape

flow find

twirl tease try

and learn

I hope to(o).
