Fear of Falling

September 24th, 2007 by Linda Jenkinson
  • Mind races towards tomorrow.
  • Though when it becomes today
  • It remains for only hours
  • Then slips into yesterday.
  • Living in today
  • I stumble
  • Like a drunk on a tightrope
  • In new shoes.
  • The slip inevitable.
  • Falling, failing,
  • All the same.
  • I fall and fail and flail at air.
  • Arms reach out.
  • Unfeathered wings
  • Fingers grasping at the string
  • Elastic gossamer
  • Fragile stretching
  • Thread unraveling
  • I look down to see
  • The net of yesterday’s memory.
