Pivot

You need a pivot to rotate a lever arm

A solid little point that holds you down

yet puts you in motion.

Swirling little moment circles in my drink,

I think...

first year of grad school,

my very own solid point of rotation,

check.

I moved...

I moved to a new state

oh beautiful Colorado!

I moved to a new apartment

I moved with a boyfriend.

I moved so much that he couldn't keep up

he left.

I was moved into depression, till I was so sick of it.

I moved myself off couches

out of bad-memory ghosts of an apartment.

I moved away from years of disappointment

to a beautiful warm house

to new friends, to fun.

moved myself

till I was on the other side of the arc

overlooking the journey.

And with a smile lingering on my face I think,

everything is still worth it.

There's always moments about a point

and always a point to good moments.
