Gravity


I haven’t planned
your shoes
on the landscape.

I ate the
bread and salt
prepared
for only one
singular drive.

Suddenly shadow
raised
its head
breathed in my neck
face…
fell!
in sand…
gravity…

  5. The last stanza is creatively done--I like how you describe it as the shadow raising its head.
