Pantoum 3
Falling feels like flying until the moment that you land.
Falling slowly let’s you feel cushioned in the dare
that you took with the first dive; understand
it’s masking the speed at which you’re already there.
Falling slowly let’s you feel cushioned in the dare
you made when you partnered with them;
it’s masking the speed at which you’re already there
at the culmination of the hymn
you made when you partnered with them—
I love you with all my strength and all my heart,
at the culmination of the hymn,
is fast to say, like flying, but there’s a hidden part
I love you with all my strength and all my heart
something like forever lodged on the tongue and
is fast to say, like flying, but there’s a hidden part
where I reach for and grasp your hand
something like forever lodged on the tongue and
that you took with the first dive; understand
where I reach for and grasp your hand.
Falling feels like flying until the moment that you land.
