i am clinging
to the edge of this barrel

a lick between
falling out... and caving in.

beyond the clouds,
above the whir of time,

someday

perhaps,

i'll aquire some sense....

to gather up your courage,

look back,

reflect,

smile through the tears,

and
finally,

let go.

i wanted
to know you
i loved you
when i met you

i fell in love
with what you are

and who
