Bloodied

[poliphilo]

 I dream I jump from a balcony in the gymn. I realise once I am in the air that it's rather further to fall than I had imagined. Thankfully I am able to stop myself in mid-air a foot or two off the ground and adjust my arms and legs before making a safe landing. There is someone I need to see. I have no idea who. I march up to where they are sitting and say, " I present myself to you with my bloodied face."
