Jackie and I
\nweighed things on a scale.
\nThe weight of beads,
\na penny,
\na paperclip,
\nand in my heart
\nwatching Jackie laugh,
\nI weighed his smile.
\nWe weighed everything
\nthat came to hand,
\na glass,
\na pear,
\na little mirror with faces.
\nEverything,
\nneither better or worse,
\nless or more beautiful.
\nFinding what they shared in common,
\nfalling to the earth,
\ninside love,
\ninside the joy of wonderful,
\nand childhood.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
