i am invincibly invisible here
behind your lower thigh
I can fly when fostered upon your hip
firmly planted
i am blind to the world
with my nose pressed deeply
into your throat
but i can see everything
everything that matters
i am unbreakable like the clasp
of my monkey hands around your neck
and i will not untether from you
even when you drop me
by trial or error
i am clung to you
beholden
unheld
