Trapeze!

Trapeze!

A Poem by John Butler
"

Love comes tumbling from the heights!

"
Daring tumblers, catch trap eye
Twenty five feet, you and I
Dangerous motion, high above
Adrenaline hunters, seeking love

Flybar jumper, deadly view
Chalked hands outstretched, reach for you
Full thrust force out, now mid air!
Triple mover, wanton care

Hands and forearms locked in tight
Grip then loosens, not quite right
Loves liaison, broke, unsound
Tumbler plunges, solid ground!

Heart in pieces, worst fall yet
Soul destroyed, no safety net

Daring tumblers, catch trap eye
Twenty five feet, you and I
Dangerous motion, high above
End of gotcha, end of love!
