A sparrow falls
Through
Dawn-air-rain-
Looking hard,
Searching for
A perch.

Rappelling
It is one of the most exciting
Sports there is. You hook
Yourself into a harness and
Attach a rope which is fixed
Securely to an anchor and
Start at an unhurried speed
Over the side of the cliff,
Playing out the line slowly.
Some rappellers get their
Thrills by going over the
Sides of tall buildings.
Realization
What would we like to see happen?
Who drove the nails into our hands?
Shame engulfing us like flames
On a computer screen we watch it
unfold and then drive off into the
Grand Canyon
The fall, how far, is the original sin,
we realize
Did we need all those nails? Was the
torture necessary? This is how we find
out who we are
