Open

I never lived with balance
I always wake up nervous
Light comes at me sideways
I hold my breath forever
I never lived with balance
Though Ive always liked the notion
I feel an endless hunger
For energy and motion
Open
Open
Open
I never lived with balance
I want to feel you near me
Theres an aching in my hipbone
Want to let my heart drop open
Its daylight in the city
Theres thumping in the stairwell
Kundalini sunrise
A clamouring of church bells
Open
Open
Open
You like to let me worry
But I dont take you for granted
Come over here and kiss me
Im savouring your picture
The street is filled with noises
Life going up and down
Light comes at you sideways
Enfolds you like a gown
