BREEZE

The twin packages of the feet
to be unwrapped by love or exhaustion.

The twin packages of movement
and rest. Like some odd spelling rule,

they stay together even when apart.
How many of us have ever been

swept away? Lifted up, and away?
Even the occasions of the white dress

cannot transport us off this earth.
Even the shiny twin packages

even the pointed toes,
even the high heels.

Nothing ever heals completely.
Thus, the breeze. Thus, the sway.
