The sky must never fall!
Someone shouted that at him
Long ago when tempers ran hot…

The first note marked our first move,
Every step predetermined by memories…

She sipped from the porcelain cup
She’d rescued from a seaside garage…

Vaulting over the shield wall of evidence,
I land with a crouch on the other side of reason…

His backwards fall
Stopped
At a wall that appeared too soon…
