abseiling

stumbling around in a dream

or maybe waking from one

it's hard to tell anymore

i don't remember any of this happening

but around me is evidence of days

spent miserably abseiling

down some kind of precipice of madness

and failing to gain any purchase

but now i'm on another rope,

and look across at the yesterdays

that don't feel familiar at all

and i wonder where I go

when I'm sliding down that wall
