You’ve peeped over the cusp
too many times not to guess
that soon
the gasp and thrill and cold rush
of clarity that hits with the passage
of densely-packed molecules through
disparate atoms of atmosphere gases
will be known to you.
You’re going to fall
so jump; fuck it all.
Swallow dive into sinning,
there’s nothing that clinging
to the fingernail-tearing dirt
at the brink can do; this will hurt
in the end whatever you do-
Seemliness be as damned as you.
You’ll be judged for succumbing
but its the start of Becoming.
Is there no other option than sheer pain? Can we not go gently into our explorations of the world and one another? My fingernails hurt.

I’m sure there is. I was reflecting on being braver about embracing consequences this morning, but it was a bit dashed-off and simplistic. 😄
