I am oscillating.

Waiting, out of love, I am

in love with the waiting.

The other never waits.

The other remains busy.

I oscillate.

Living, out of joy, I am

enjoying this rite of life.

The other never sees me.

The other falls behind.

I oscillate.

Weeping, out of sorrow, I am

mourning with every tear wept.

The other never mourns.

The other leaves me behind.

I oscillate.

Breathing, out of love, I am

in love with my breathing.

The other always had me.

Until the other broke it.

I oscillate.

Standing up, out of pride, I am

proud that I am still standing.

The other lies before me.

The other refused my hand.

I oscillate. I move. I breathe.

Until movement becomes still,

and the heart starts moving.
