Gravity
Gravity weighs on her,
“only a theory,” she insists,
keeping her from
cotton-candy clouds.
Struggling to get above,
it pulls her down
to the center of herself,
the places she doesn’t want to know.
Where the truth of it waits
behind closed doors that rattle in the dark.
“Ignorance is bliss,” she hopes.
Gravity won’t let her go.
