Bridgejumper

i can feel the heavy air
weighing down my chest
pounding like an officer
at the door of an apartment
is there someone dead inside?
has there been an emergency?
like a jumper at the roof
i stand here
impulse has always been
one of my stronger points

like a pianist with fingers
broken
i will spill out my guts
smiling

i can feel the heavy air
of your breath as we kiss
can you feel it?
heavy and anxious
hanging like a nervous fire
waiting to be fueled.

like a golden gate jumper
i fall
head over heels
for you
