looking up and down

1.
the leaf has big line
middle big line
middle small big line

streets
for me to imagine
little things I can't see in

micro streets of roads like houses
along the lines
as I hold this leaf world out in space
in my hand.

the wonder snaps back in me
I look up and see I am also
out in space-
held somehow-

and between these little leaf streets
and this something greater that holds (and lets go)
like the little leaf streets
don't know me

I see myself
as the scale in between
and I'm looking
up and down

at everything.

little leaf streets
that hold---and let go
in the measure of lines

big
