Sky Diving

Sky Diving

I hang on the edge  of this universe  singing off-key  talking too loud  embracing myself  to cushion the fall

I shall tumble  into deep space  never in this form  or with this feeling  to return to earth

 It is not tragic

I will spiral  through that Black hole  losing skin limbs  internal organs  searing  my naked soul

Landing  in the next galaxy  with only my essence  embracing myself  as

I dream of you
