on the surface
of the water

clarity just above
blurry just below

flipping a life
of that and this

held apart by a thin sheet
of rippling glass

i remember standing in ballet class
at the seam of the mirrors

the wholeness i felt
when split down the middle

tectonic plates
tempting overlap

uprising at a seam
that wasn’t there

mountainous
memory

as if more earth was created
at the meeting of left and right
