edge of desire

i’m on the edge of desire
something i’m wanting
is trying to fall
like a coin from a ledge
it disappears into space below
it carries part of me with it
which part i don’t know
but something is missing
an unneeded appendage
i’m breathing easier
unhindered
the air is passing through me
i’m light like a feather
perhaps soon
i can stand
step over the edge
and fly
