This time around shall be my last,

Secrets released, untethering my feet,

I’m ready to become one with the stars.

The overcast dissipates
To reveal shimmering, turquoise waters,
Like white gemstones adorning soft waves,
Slowly flattening…
Into a warm blanket, enveloping,
Warping into a wormhole I shall sink into,
Like in adolescence, when I jumped
Backwards off that brick wall,
With a smile on my face,
Awaiting the stain,
And landed on a
Soft, sinking
Mattress
