Up and up, one leg in front of another.
Half running, half staggering.
Up and up, until the highest point is touched.

Daring and daffy on this hot day, feigning bravery, feigning strength.
It was only when we surfaced, bobbing high above the cliffside, we realized we weren’t pretending.

We were all we wanted and so much more.

    Beautiful. Poignant.

    Going up like a pair of eyes that see your own private galaxy where some around you might see the most forgotten piece of sky… the floating eyes, aching to pull us free.
