So if you’re going to be unflappable,
it doesn’t mean
to a certain extent,
doesn’t mean
until you finally hit your limit
and explode

It means you move in a different ether
where none of the tugs from former worlds
affect you at all.
Your calm is not conditional
nor is your peace
nor is your love

The currents that move you
are those of your own essence
and your belonging
hand to hand
constellation to constellation
springing in cartwheels
through the sky.
