balancing act

by



I don’t remember much
but I remember that we spoke about
reciprocity                                                                                       
and I said, balance is key
and you smiled, asked,
what kind of life is that, keeping tabs
on who did more, gave more,
loved more?
—An excerpt from the project-in-waiting, which is to say: Sorry for the lack of words this week. I don't want to write that I have been busy, so instead I will write that life is being life, and I am trying, still.
