Stuck in the Sky

I’m back

on that way high dive,

disoriented,

too high up that

long

long

long

long

ladder.

What made me think

I could fly?

I am helpless,

and exposed.

And Dad is not

treading calmly in the water below.

Even if he was, how could he help?

Wouldn’t we both just drown in the deep?

I can’t believe I was so impulsive

so trusting.

I’m holding up the line.

Move it, pigbitch.

I never want to feel

this out of control again.
