It’s Simple: By Alx Uttermann
it’s simple,
this voice learning to hear itself
like the way the book falls open
to just the right page
the one that says ‘yes!’
& has obscure handwritten notes scribbled
in the margins
so simple,
this window opening to the moon
how you brush aside the curtains
so gently
with one hand
to get a better view
& the silver light kisses your cheek in thanks
so simple,
this heart opening to love
how you’ve stretched it before
a hundred times beyond the point of snapping
& have finally come to discover
that the heart knows
how to bend, how to give, how to expand outwards
in all directions
& never once
needs to break
Wow!! So ultimately beautiful!!
Never once needs to break???
Really??????????
Promise???
