win-lose

when you lose 
you gain perspective 
when you win
you lose everything
that could have come
after the wound 

when you win

the tight rope
tighter 
til you pop

by its subtle swaying
staying or flowing
away away away
from the simple
explanation
of force
wind tells tree
tells me why
i think of you
