just jumped,
and i'm leanin'
against the fence, breathless
on the other side.
o, how my heart
is a thud thud thud
with the rush
of flight & the deathfear of the leap
but the firm,
dark, ground catches me,
my sidewalking boots
impressing two grateful kisses.
the dusky morning breeze flickers,
cool fire through my chopped hair,
& i throw one last glance
over the young gleaming grass.
the sun's coming up, like sweetness,
like apples, over my summer hills and haunts,
and i turn,
and i run.
the day will never catch me.
