ropes and branches

we are two trees
that grew up
beside one another

close enough
to string a hammock

between

us
there is only

the rest
and sway
of easy cotton

the sun lying down
on the top layer
of our skin

and
relief

that lets loose
into our palms

like heavy fruit
off the newborn branch

we are weightless

when the ropes
are tied
