The Fall
It was Monday, or perhaps Tuesday.
The day is not important—
over the expanding belly of time,
what is one day more or less?
But on that day the toe of my shoe
caught the edge of the world
that someone had left
carelessly draped across the sidewalk
and severed every root
that kept me grounded, and I found
myself tilting on a new axis,
face facing the earth
in sudden close-up clarity like
an unexpected hug from a distant aunt,
and all the pain associated with it,
without the memories.
