Jane's Long Exhale!!



I stayed in bed this morning past daybreak

to feel the permanence of time inside me.
 
Now I watch a daddy long-legs negotiate the wall
 
he falls and catches, falls and catches. not a smooth path
 
but from where I sit, it is a continuity.
 
I see how I could want to stay forever in that place before the breath turns after the long exhale.
