this new awakening
has stirred up
my sensibilities
comfortable truths
like worn out shoes
can't support me now
i walk the line
between safe and
perfectly reckless
barefoot
on the edge of
a sea glass mountain
waiting for
the push
or the
shove
or the
fall
as i stand
here still
stuck
in this borrowed
dress,
life and time
laughing
at the imagined cocktail
party talk
that would
undoubtedly ring
through the parlor
of my
funeral
i'll bet you
never thought
she go'an do
a thing like that
feckin' brave, her
taking the jump
knowin' the fall
good love'll do that
to a body
may we all fall so hard

All about indecision.

This indecision's bugging me
La indecisión me molesta...

good love will mess you up like a sea glass mountain, thats for sure...smiles...love your voice in this...
Yes, "may we all fall so hard". Love that.
ReplyDeleteIrish: "My Pulse, My Heart". Had to look that up.
ReplyDeleteInteresting you listening to your own funeral after you decide to jump off the edge -- doesn't sound too high if there are groans afterwards. And how it ruins your looks.
Sounds like you want to jump -- but not sure if it will look ridiculous afterwards.
Hmmmm, hard choice. I can feel your pulse and hear your heart.
Imagining my funeral before the jump. Metaphorically speaking...
ReplyDeleteoh gosh, i felt this in my bones. i think about this moment all the time, the moment of the jump. particularly love the analogy to "worn out shoes" and the details like the borrowed dress. just a lovely write here. x
