1/2/22

the plunge


time ticks into a change

rearranged but the same


little hand, big hand

pointed skyward at twelve

like a cliff-diver with both 

hands up together, poised 

to jump over the edge


second-hand anticipation

relentless movement forward.

the stalker, the cause of this 

anxiousness


knees buckling, toes clenching

onto the rock ledge, abs tight,

one big breath, legs springing

the body up and out, into the 

plunge


new hour, new day, new year

rearranged but the same
