falling

The feeling before falling

A look back over your shoulder.
That gasp.
The refraction of a navel jewel.
The feeling before falling.

The moment before falling

I look out across the foam-flecked waves
and feel the moment before falling.

I close my eyes and tilt my head
and feel the moment before falling.

In my mind I see your smile
the sunlight on your earring
I hear your voice, I sense your touch
I feel the moment before falling.
