How I fell from the Sky
written by: Christina Strigas
@christinastriga
naked and alone
like The Terminator
scrunched up in some goddess-
like pose.
fear and pain
like a refugee girl
leaving her home behind.
the moon and the sun
had my back
they protected my aura
for a while
until i had to face the hurricane
and get swept by your tornado
but what left me helpless
between the clouds
was when your plane flew
under me.
you thought of me.
and i saw your eyes
were not vacant at all.
they could not see me
of course, last time
you saw me i was on the ground
dead from your departure.
so up until the tsunami
of your love
drew me back from the universe
that was when I knew it
was time to come back to you.
as you looked up
and spread your arms wide
and caught my tiny frame.
I write because I have no other choice. I write because I have stories to tell and poems like film slides in my mind.
