I Am A Grappling Hook

There are no tides upon my shores
and sleep is until I can't sleep no more
I will never be 9 to 5
nor suppertime

STAND BACK

as I extract the marrow from my joy
to feed my soul
to live some more

and dance

with a lotus wig
and a dress of twigs and bumblebee bouquets to throw
as I pledge myself to soar

Can you hear me still?

Untethered I float away
