– AfterFall –
If you jump,
Dear Love,
I will watch you fall
with wonder and grace.
I will bear witness
to your acts of deepest sorrow.
But take your time,
Dear Love,
hold yourself a moment more.
Cry out and think of better days,
for that moment always comes and goes;
Slow and tedious,
always replenishing its vitality,
before the last
drop
falls.
