Untitled #213 (2018)

you know that moment,
everyone does,
when you come up against that rail,
and lean out,
look over,
gauge how far it is down,
and wonder how it would feel to jump?

Now, I don’t recommend this as a life plan for anyone,
because it results in as many scrapes and bruises and broken bones,
as it does anything worth anything,

but there for a few years,
I ran head-first over the rail,
and into whatever was on the other side.

and I know it’s hard, love,
I know it’s terrifying,
but unlike my reckless days,
I’ll hold your hand the whole way down.
