like sky in puddles
still feels expansive
The possibility
of an evening free of caregiving
feels buoyant,
even if our only outing
is to the grocery store
It’s hard to fathom
being fully untethered,
and useful to remember
what happens to kites
when their strings are released
Reminding us to build a solid anchor
that can lend lift to our flight,
reminding us to base our liberty
not on our circumstances
but on our love.
