Before Sleep

 I was in love with anatomy
the symmetry of my body
poised for flight,
the heights it would take
over parents, lovers, a keen
riding over truth and detail.

I thought growing up would be
this rising from everything
old and earthly,
not these faltering steps out the door
every day, then back again.
