Notes on a Broken Chandelier
Kjersti Reed

He was thinking
about gravity, how it holds all of us down,
how it's why we drop to the next stair
when we step off, how he sees people bouncing
along or riding bikes, and they're all bobbing
or wobbling in the clutches of gravity.
As he talks, he smooths a hand
over the thick black hair on his calf.
