a moment on a monday

i stand here
with palms upturned
face toward the sky
and heart cracked wide open
waiting.
i stand here with my back ramrod straight
against the wall,
i stand here on the teetery-tottery ledge.
i stand here with precision and decision.
i stand here with possibility
 and poised to jump
    or fly.
i stand here.
