Spire within reach by Joseph Martino
This time called love
Where is it
How high me
Do you raise
My heart
Held for ransom
Between the yes and no
Of your playing chips
I’m not here to gamble
I’m willing to pay the price
The fullness of hours
Working at a wheel
Spinning in place
Like a ballerina
In space
I gaze out to you
En pointe
Your toe must know by now
