Analysis of Still, the arresting pull of youth
Still, the arresting pull of youth
never fails to tumble
with lingering sweetness
the careless carefree.
I was waiting to fall,
anticipating the slightest push
to topple the islands of dominoes.
So eager to fall
dangerously
deliciously into
certain irreversible ruin.
