29.60

My body collapsed.
My head to the floor.
I breathe out.
Your name hanging on every breath.
The connection between us grows stronger.
I relax into your arms,
feeling as though I am hugging the world.
Feeling as though roots grow out
from my arms and legs and head
down into the floor and across all of creation,
cementing our connection.
And in every step I take through my day,
those same roots reattach and keep me grounded.
On the surface, not six feet high,
I continue to walk.
So, I will continue to collapse.
I will continue to connect.
In this way, I continue.
