Bared Baring

Tying words

like tying balloons.

If I pull the rhythm of a string

I will find the feeling

blown up to a balloon

that I gave you.

With you I could do it without words

but I wanted to fly balloons in the air

to make it joyful like a party

like an affluent distraction.

Tip of a string in a bearing

a word

and another word

I released them all

and was left bared.

Just you and me

and a pile of feelings

tying ourselves to one another

released from strings

revealing bared bearing.
