Poem 016 – Linger

/ˈlɪŋɡə/

verb – stay in a place longer than necessary because of a reluctance to leave.

I stand weightless at the edge of my pain, overcome, disdained,

Close my eyes and I am falling, unable to catch myself, not stopping,

Come bright future, yes, come to me.

Let me mount your winged reveries.
