swings
raze they oiled the swing set
and now
the chains don't make so many sounds
pulling against the frame
only the obvious ones
the soft creaks that say
"i'll hold you
as long as you want to be held"
so you can raise your legs
and lower them
and raise them again
rocking back and forth
kicking into the invisible gases
that are everywhere you are
until flight doesn't seem so far away
