To Be Right

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
