Fall
written by: Katrina Kaye
@PoetKatrinaKaye
It is important
to know
how to fall.
The ability to
stitch a net out
of eyelash and
torn paperback,
to catch,
to survive,
to go on,
is more vital
than perching
impassive on
mountain peak
or slumbering
in the shade
of pine tree.
It is important
to know how
fast the world
is set to change.
and yet recognize
all the ways it stays
the same.
One man’s action
is limited to the
reach of his arm.
His fall,
only a tragedy
to those who
stood by and
could not help.
Only a tragedy
to those who did
not see him
rise again.
