becoming unstuck

you love her, you say

and she senses a shift

the crackle and fuzz -

the static /

/ the snow of a detuned telly /

devours thoughts

detunes thinking

so she’s suspended

stuck in stasis

scrambling to say

/ something /

*
you feel the static

fizz between you

electricity charging

invisible

and also almost tangible

/ grab it

wave it over your head

your hair rises up

stands tall

sways

then release

watch it float

stick to the ceiling

hovering now

above

and

between /

*

she’s sitting

- silent -

staring at the

black

white

grey

static as the screen

though frozen

not flickering

like the

failed frequency

fixed

focused

and she finds herself wondering

do i love you

or

do i just

love

the way

you

love

me

and are they the same

and how do we know?

**

you love her

you say

and something in her shifts

softens

then sparks

a desire to be

deserving

**

love is dynamic

she thinks

floating

fluttering

shifting

changing

unstatic and unstuck

**

you love her

you say

and she drifts back down

from the ceiling

gathers the sparks between you

sprinkles them all to surround you

flattens her hair

and whispers

you love

i love

we love
