Air
He plummets,
Down, down, down,
Pulled
Freefalling.
Stepping from the ledge
Of the plane,
Is the same,
As falling back from the
edge
Of a boat.
Aerodynamics
Rate of fall
They are the same
It’s slower under water
The ocean gets darker,
So too does the sky,
As the ground rushes up
beneath.
He sinks and sinks,
Colder, darker,
The fall is slow, gradual,
A dive.
A fall, a dive
Different names for the same
thing
An act of faith
Something he would do
In the state he is in
A man who no longer fears
anything
A man on the edge, on the
ledge,
Falling, diving, sinking,
