B
To Fall Down
Fell into the space between thoughts
His six plump breasts surged and emptied
All desire and language fell away
And just as he began to grow transparent
The image of a cabinet occurred to him
It’s open doors a symbol of inanimate mercy
The temptation to struggle was rehabilitated
But the cabinet soon tumbled away
Pulled by the gravity of a distant stream
The tips of ideas exposed in its current
Like feet from under a long dress
That modest glimpse of flesh which belies
A profound expanse of passion
Hidden in a cavern of billowing cloth
And he fell and his body leaked
