Zenith by Juan Diego Otero
Since I fell from that branch
I stumble more frequently;
the fall, instead of making me more careful,
has strengthened my affinity with the ground.
And although I still haven’t freed myself
of the shame when there are witnesses,
I feel that the blow does me well:
I regather myself, limb by limb
and confront gravity from below:
it’s healthy to collapse, when the self
has walled itself into a tower
that points toward the head. Art by Christopher Serra
