The Italian RivieraJumping off a cliff at Nervi Rocks
without a word
Hesitation burns my nerves
Up the stony way to the diving board
I stand staring at the turquoise
petrified as a pirate at the white plank
It echoes a call
walk the plank
to the ocean blue
yonder!
Vertigo says No!
You jumped off Eton Rock
Ten years ago
ten meters downs
To the same blue
But i had company
someone to bounce off of
Ten rocky minutes
The fret is over
I lumber back to my deck chair
Under the parasol
A message arrives
From far away
We exchange a few
Until the heat builds
over the words
I pick myself up for a dip
And send the words
Off for a dive now. Goodbye
I know him for an aquaphobe
The words quench my nerve
Steal the pirate show
Dwarf my vertigo
I've said it now so I go
Loping up the rock
Over the diving board
And I fly
headlong
To a splash
