Jump
Toes curled over the edge,
Back standing perfectly tall,
Poised with strong arms over head,
Diving in is just falling with grace.
Bend the knees deeply in preparation,
Push through with every leg muscle,
Catapult into the air with a sense of purpose,
Feel momentum change at the peak.
Closed eyes see the execution,
Body parts do what they were taught to do,
Breathing escalates as the ending comes near,
Eyes reopen to find the bottom of an empty pool.
This is your brain on love.
