upsi continues her repetitions walks of nomadic peace

upsi watches as paths widen bodies arrive willing a new way

dancing a new distance to be together-strong-peace

upsi accepts nature’s offered hand accepts self her participation

holds space for healing harm reduction practiced for and from body

learning from necessity how to be alone

learning how to make peace at home

from that documentary, someone else’s story

 

Because...

Actually, I do not know why

I had literally never been touched

By a lover

Until I was in college

She seized me

She kissed me

I fainted

Overwhelmed

By the response of my blood

Of my nerves

By the sensation of

Someone else’s hands

How sad

And how beautiful

That I can remember that moment

That moment of first knowing

We are beings

Which are not made for solitude
