The Safest Fall
Dearest love,
I'm falling.
but it's warmer down here
safer, slower, more patient
I'm definitely falling.
but my body is at ease
my mind tranquil
my spirit satisfied
I'm absolutely falling.
but I feel strangely nourished
courageous, adventurous
I'm falling ever so quickly
but I am empowered-
everywhere I turn I feel softness and warmth
and skin and lips and stubble
and soft breath and kind eyes
resting upon my cheekbones
but I never feel dirty
or dangerous-
in the moment,
I just
feel.
I've fallen
but it's warmer down here.
