Blinking (Free verse) by zodiac
Once as children, ranged on a rock
above a twinkling unending sky-blue
stretch of sunlit water, we smoked
stolen cigarettes, made jokes
about being scared of jumping - to talk
ourselves into doing it, of course. You
had to kind of blink, to let
yourself forget; then you were falling, the shock
of cold water catching you back.
I could do
it once, I know. And if I could forget
myself like that again, if I just knew
how we did it before, I could surprise you yet -
could take your hand, laugh, leave this town - or lock
my lips on yours, or pull my ready cock
out into the world's unsuspecting view.
