Ode to Yesterday

Yesterday I jumped into a dark hole,

Praying for water to embrace me,

Sweep me away.

The hole was mysterious, vacant

Waiting for me.

Nourish me, love me.

Give your body, lose yourself.

I sink towards the hope,

the bottomless, endless, rush.

There's no water to break my fall.

I broke. I gave. I lost.

Today, I'm glancing over the edge of a cliff.

Imagining the gust of a waterfall.

I leap with everything.

Skipping in air, a hopefully smile,

Anticipation.

There's no waterfall.

I keep falling.

Empty, futile plunge.

Only leading to Yesterday.
