freefall

 

constant decisions

veering off in infinite directions

(you can see this in the pinecone

tall buildings,

seeds of terrace.)

 

wind will come,

bad news like the weather

and Sorrow

teared and torn.

 

your vision narrowing -

eyes squinting, choose

the wall

 

would reach her,

what would calm you each

down.

 

assume the positive position.

there be so much to drag you.

 

Guaranteed Ease will find again

her fragile sister,

take her home at the awning

of the needle wooded floor.

Guaranteed Ease will thank you.

So many choices

 

though force held fast to Sorrow,

opted you for good.
