because the attachment is fierce
your hooks cling to my loops
firmly coupled, unyielding

vehemently opposed to disconnection
our link stretches, elastic
immutable

impervious to weather
resistant to gravity
the bond remains, indissoluble

logic
(when consulted)
looks the other way.

Because the attachment is fierce
you persist within me
and I, within you
