Still / Falling

It isn’t like

anything

I can imagine

a free fall

tumble through

space without

end without

end not knowing

that’s the thing

all uncertain

I can’t imagine

hasn’t happened

to me so I walk

by the side

of a friend

who has been

in free fall

that wasn’t free

and I listen

and the wind

pushes past us

and my friend says

just listen

just listen

we are outside

our feet are

on the ground

but I am still

falling
