The Acrobat
Falling out of love
She does well,
Disappointment distilled,
A comfort, honest as
Rain on a dark morning
Always losing,
Never lost,
She has her belief
In absence
To keep her safe
Nothing got easily
Is worthy
Is enough
She is finer in denial
Braver in knowledge
Falling out of love
She is freer for the fall
Better to spin,
Suffer in somersaults,
Head over heart
