Poems

décevoir
I throw myself down the stairs
in my mind.
I curl my toes over the top stair,
Imperceptible sways toward
the ragged drop
I close my eyes and tuck,
knees to heart,
hands to elbows
to face to
feet
to
toes
to
Tumbling, and
screaming and
bruising for days.
I throw myself down the stairs
in my mind.
Outside, I sleep
a little deeper
and stairs are for
reaching the kitchen,
If I threw myself down
them, I would
disappoint
everyone.
In real life, you're not supposed to throw yourself down the stairs. That results in real-life consequences and injuries. Ouch.
