if you stretch your arms out wide
as you fall the fall of thunder
there's a slim chance you might fly
(slim as the space between hesitant eyes)
yes, the upwinds may catch you
at an opportune moment, and lift
the weight of you, the heavy bag of bones
of you, upon temperamental and
temporary shoulders.
but only if you stretch your arms out.
only if you reach to embrace the
emptiness or the earth
without fear of either.
