Let’s Jump (Day 685)

Let’s jump 

off the other side 

of the wall 

that keeps us where 

they say 

we should stay

because we know 

in our bones 

we are almost 

home now 

Let’s allow 

our hearts 

to swim among 

lingering stars and

to find 

the remembered 

spaces where 

our fingers 

used to fit 

Let’s dive 

so the deep 

green water closes 

over our heads 

as we sink 

hair snaking 

Medusa-like toward 

the undulating surface 

secret weeds tickling  

our ankles 

sending us shrieking 

toward the light
