Poem: “It’s Just Like Jumping off the Rock” 2013
Jan 11, 2021
It’s just like jumping off the rock:
The terror, the dazzling drop,
And then the sweet, cold water,
The kiss of golden sunshine upon the freshly opened lids,
For an instant, rainbows reside inside your head,
Whispering faintly, seductively, “ you’ll never be alone again.”
The brief, caressing notion that the spectrum of light upon water
Could so too have things to say
Touches the edges of your mind and melts into
That moment whence the ascent and the descent collide.
