Falling is an art

falling is an art


 

my father had warned me

about the dangers of heat

show you how i feel

how i fell

the heat of the agonising

heat where wax doe s melt

and men are vulnerable

i am a man of unquestionable vulnerability

show you how i feel

how i fell

i was bruised before i plummeted

hubris is a bruise you know

show you how i feel

how i fell

i imagined not god there

in the braying rays

but here, instantly spent

falling is further than you think

show you how i feel

how i fell

way towards the dark side

of the unturning earth

show you how i feel

how i fell

hades had pact made

and i was it

the plummeting son dethroned

show you how i feel

how i fell

there was a moment

before the end

where purpose became me

it was after the fear

before the denouement

show you how i feel

how i fell

it was at this solitary suspension

in the midst of fall

that i saw the end

mysterium tremendum

show you how i feel

how i fell

falling is an art

some do it perfectly
