Views from the Cliff

“Some days I can set myself adrift in space. In time.” from “Cliff-Dweller” by Sarah Connor

Some days I’m cliff, unmoving, snared

by gravity and steel-trap views

of skyline, shoreline, night, and day.

I can set myself adrift in dreams

of flight, or fantasies of floating free

of anchor on a starlit sea.

But dreams and fantasies dissolve

to leave me stuck in space. In time.
