All ears (Day 898)

stilted   disjointed   over-easy 
soft and almost slackened 
finding balance and balance again   
the old walk and stumble  
getting hotter and hotter   funny   
you never felt that way yourself   
before this   resting 
in a state of conscious abandon   
just for a moment   tipping 
toward fortune   only a problem 
if someone’s watching   you 
almost dropped into page-long 
ecstasy   sinking like gneiss 
into deep-sucking silt   so don’t 
plumb it   this lost afternoon   
when language is all ears
