Kites
by Lucy Hinton, August 2011
Sometimes when souls are trying to say something
important they yearn to speak
through bodies first.
There are places where words fail, and
where emotional reaction sparks emotional reaction,
until our feet are tripping,
tangled in a ball of string,
and noone knows what it's really about
anymore. So, if I could,
I'd pull you in close,
such that you could feel the warmth
of my body, the trembling,
the beat of my heart,
and the soul of me would mend things
with the soul of you in a timeless instant,
and all the string would untangle
such that our true & beautiful colours
could blaze behind us
in the sky
like kites.

In such moments as these words can fail, and
emotional reaction sparks emotional reaction,
until our feet are tripping,
tangled in a ball of string,
and noone knows what it's really about
anymore. So, if I could,
I'd pull you in close,
