Palm Springs Branch
A friend said
I must be jumping out of my skin
That’s quite a picture
I see my outsides crumpled
to the floor
…my insides…
a newer younger ‘looks of me’…
jumping and dancing about the room
then about the town
Some time later
when I calmed down a bit
I jumped back into my waiting skin
my excitement and I now ‘one’
waltzing together
in the bright sunlight
shining through the open door
