“Balance”
By Ashley O’Hare
You pick up a pen,
but that’s too permanent,
so you swap it out for a pencil,
but that’s too fragile.
Two polar opposites.
How do you decide?
Do you commit,
even when your heart
is uneasy?
Or
Do you balance
on the fence
relying on the presence
of both
creating and undoing?
