DAY 14: Without a net

Sometimes
my heart is on
the flying trapeze

launched into nothing
but a spinning, free fall
of motion.

My stomach is an acrobat
flipping end over end
in my midsection.

I practice this routine daily.

Each time
I wonder whether you
will be there to catch my
outstretched hand.

Oh. The last stanza is lovely.

(I totally want more before that, though. Lots more.)
