Danger Dream

After the guardrail
goes over my head
and I slip through
all the safety fences,

I slide on my back toward the rocks
grab at the green strands
thinking this is not final
all that grass will stop me

and after I relax
my feet stick out
slack against the sky
and there is nothing else

I think by golly this is terminal.
Entering the realm
of the wind I think reality
doesn't apologize.
