jump,

and feel the gravity

off the plane

wind blade lacerating your face

it feels really, really dry

pores exploding from within

why is skin such a strange, feeble organ

what's after it?

you live if you live

you die if you die

at least you felt the fall, genuinely free. fall

if you love something, set it free

if it comes back, it's yours

if it doesn't, it never was
