| This Passing Fall | ||||||||||
| A leaf upon the wind, you drift by. My eyes are upon you as you sway, float, fall. I fill my chest, and with one swift punch I try to push you back up, toward the sky. But you only smile and sway. Falling. You wander ever closer and I feel your touch along my skin. Can I hear you creeping closer? Yes, yes, you consume all other noise. As you flutter, not far removed, I let your smile reflect on my face, like the moon. I know you. You have been nearing all my life, swaying, floating, Falling. And the smile grows, I know you. I free my breath again. Grace goes with me as I fall. |
