#peaksandtroughs
I’m invincible, unstoppable
until I stub my toe
and come a cropper
and the earth below me shifts
and sits on my chest with a manic grin
The gasp for breath
like a feeble request for one more chance,
******* properly in a bunch
as all avenues close
These are the swings and roundabouts,
the reciprocal motions
that see rise and fall as one
decades in you’d think it’d all make sense
but this viscous, thick emotion
is as sticky as always
