And Yet

You’re almost at the point where you can fly –

and yet you need a boost –

a sort of comrade, on the sly –

upon whose head, and favor, you might roost –

it is this way with thinking, too –

the layers of it which you’re sinking through

which suddenly, abruptly evanesce to light,

so that your mind erupts, almost, to flight –

and yet, not quite.
