I hold on, tight
leaning in
arms wrapped around you
your hand on my thigh
squeezing my leg
in that way you do
and I hear you
laugh and let go
coasting down
no handed
and as my head screams “Hold on!”
my arms lift to float, too
and in that moment of free fall
we’re as light
as you can get
here on earth
so baby
right now
now that you’re gone
I want to let go
and float with you
on joy
on freedom
on the thermals of love
laughing
all
the way
down
the canyon
forever
