Gummed Up

 

Jumped off the edge of yesterday; landed

squarely in the middle of today, felt

the sides of this ride fall away – looked down,

saw the bottom hadn’t really dropped out –

it just feels that way.  This, too, shall pass by.

 

World rocking sensations bring vertigo,

that queasy, half-nervous, half-excited

atmosphere of new love – revived passion.

Impossibilities dancing across –

my field of vision, once blurry, has cleared.

 

You existed inside me, internal

workings gummed up with love’s glue, quite stubborn,

persistent, persuasive, some things don’t go

easily – as I move forward in life.
