At times I'm afraid
that love is like high jump
I try to think of all my details
A half-moon run
small quick step
knee up
arch back
and when it's all over
I sit up cautiously on the yellow foam mat
looking to see if the bar still balances delicately on its wobbly posts
looking to see if I did everything exactly right this time
because I never can tell
until it's all over.
