Burning My Fingers
If my imagination
was a person she’d
be a trapeze artist
swinging regardless
of gravity or fear
from idea to idea
grabbing, hanging,
swinging
to clutch
outstretched hands
or dangled foot
poetic tropes would form
ropes
metaphoric
poetic
or somewhat obvious
I can only guess if
I’ll be flying
blithely
through air
will suffer rope burns
as I turn, falter,
crash and
burn
