off the cliff

by Mary Frances Spencer

i never know
which words
lead
or how
they follow

or where
the beasts
will roam

only that
they leap
like lemmings
desperate
to be
written
off the cliff

subconscious
streaming
fur and
feathers flying

teeth flashing
eyes
glitter black

i am only
along
for
the ride
