the decline is well underway


and the deeper and faster I careen down

the mountain of this life

the softer the focus

the heartening keen until happy memories


lose their sorrow and shine again

as they did in their instants of happening


do not fear the onrushing ground that is

merely a curtain before the sky


as if in falling I was rising up


rising up
