i sometimes walk a line
to slip crow or slip stone
and shed names calling
hollow temptations
i slip to fall, burnt bright
above the wishing well
cutting up the pieces
to scatter to the wind
my lips press a final—

“i slip to fall”—this stuck out to me.
Any particular reason why?
I think it’s because I feel myself needing to slip, to let go, release…I hold onto things so tight and I know the path forward requires me to slip. Fall, like fall in love, not fall as in trip up. I don’t know exactly, but that phrase felt like it was for me.
Sometimes you have to fall to fly, as it has been said.
I think that’s what you’re getting at. 💕
