Still

There are two things we got right.

There is one tripwire we stepped over, and the other tripwire we stepped right over,

completely over,

and still we fell in.

and with it?

everything else,

to be exact.

but we still got it right.

I am the one left looking up holding both of my broken ankles, and my breath.

My equilibrium and all the others are still intact;

The balance beam is too far way to know for sure.

Still being taken advantage down here, and still bleeding,

still spun off my axis

still down to the bone, still hiding down here.
