Joy

What joy does
is lift you up
good luck with it
my rooms are full
of helium are full
of thought is just now
starting to register
the importance of
the the last few days
just in case
there's a leak I have
strapped a pillow
over my heart
to soften the blow
I'll land on it
hips of glass
stiff as a board
a pliable leopard
sprung into night.
