Vertigo

I told myself I must

Be sensible, adult

Cautious.

And I tried

I did.

I caught at the silken sides

Found an isolated toehold

Stopped

For a moment

To view my life –

– parched, void –

Before you grasped me

And I fell

Faster, faster

Rushing, crushing,

Breathless, boneless

Stripped skinless

Your strength holding me

Your love protecting me

As I fall

Towards the light.
