I Am Gibbon

I am gibbon

spidered and sprung

frenetic and young

instinct shows me

every path through

the treetops


I vocalise

it is joy it is joy

it is freedom and joy

but my whoops

find no echoes

and so dim


But I am gibbon

Don’t say don’t look down

I have no use for ground

I wish to swing

forward swinging

forever


My sharp throat

crackles dry crackles dry

parched soul wrung out dry

exhausted

remorseful

when will I fall
