Losing the light

Losing the light – Marconi Union

–

We fall from trees with grace.

Wrapping the air around us.

Invisible flares escape,

beauty in the nothing.

–

With skill we harness gravity.

Port de bras, passing branches.

Entrechat to gain velocity.

we learned this ages ago.

–

Slowing to contemplate metaphase.

I watch the steps.

You watch the degage.

And we carry on.

–

Making figures in the crepuscular rays,

We bow

where our coast meets the waves

and we reach the ground.
