Catapulted
Right off the ground
I knew straight up
There was nothing for it
So I spread my arms
On the ascend and lifted my chin
And while the numbing wind
Blows through my hair, my body,
I will take a moment
To forget.
Ignore the memory of
The smashing that is coming
The splat on the grass
And the certain tumbling.
Forget the fact that
Being screwed over is
My fault here in
The twenty-first century.
Be smarter, be better, find
the weak point and thrive.
There is no excuse for tender
Moments and forgetting
The power of lust.
My eyes wide for the momentary stop,
A surge of adrenalin!
Blue sky and white cloud all
On the horizon
But here it comes that
Mild descent.
I open my chest to the pinnacle.
Now
Close my mind,
pause and dive.
