Man Falling
A man is unsure of what is happening to him.
I thought
I was at sea
By night
Floating somewhere
Off the shore.
I was sure
Some shadowed flag
With waves of red and black
Wove beneath the water.
I thought
I was by a rollercoaster
Solving the end of the puddle man
Resting beneath its mighty feet.
I was sure
I had seen the burnt
Corners near the massive loop,
The Tenth Circle of Hell.
I thought
I had fallen through the sky
From the boat from an arrow
The struck my shoulder and pushed my soul
To the murky waters.
I was sure
The dead man was me.
