Just beautiful. What a marvelous job you did of capturing the duality, and your last line... I felt like a weight was lifted when I read it. So true. Thank you. Really wonderful poem. "I have held one of each in separate palms and found/the lightness, just as heavy to hold as stone"—brilliant.
Passionate about poetry; mine is a work in progress. I’m an editor who reads a lot, but when I read in my free time, I don’t change a word. Love to paddleboard!
