when i was a child 
i would hang upside-down from the monkey-bars 
hang there so long 
till i was unsure which was the ground 
and which was the sky 
holding on 
in the fear i would fall up 
away into the sky 
and this is where i am now 
as we wake 
and you ask me 
as you lie here 
breathing slowly 
into my neck 
"where are you?" 
my love 
i am upside-down 
and hanging on 
in mortal fear 
of falling 
falling up 
and forever being lost 
in your blue skies 
and endless streaks 
of soft white cloud
