Angles

For the first time there is nothing
to note about the placement of our limbs.
Your body doesn’t linger at 90 degree’s,
threatening to close around me.
It is no longer the centre of every thought,
the track of each breathe spiralling in constant limbo.
Your silhouette is not the radius holding me in place.
Your body isn’t the reason that I get up in the mornings.
It is just a collection of angles in the distance
mapping how far I’ve come.

You always manage to tie things together that seem so unrelated at first, you squish them together in total sense, maths and love. A beautiful piece!

Hi! like this poem, the way
you have explained it and the body.
Have a good bank holiday.
