to a descending a staircase.

hey you, who are descending this
with sweat on brow
afraid of going down you let gaze
glide down the stairs a shadow.
yes, you.
underpass in springtime smells of dust
and a lukewarm breeze by.
up your rhythm
keep up your
and climb those stairs
as if your life on that.
pass by that building
kick the away
the cats too
and go to the ticket counter.

are
beings.
keep up rhythm
up your rhythm
and when you can't take it
when your
and your legs reached their limit
at time
a fall will ensue.
you as if
your legs off your body
or maybe there's a
like a attack
but you know what it is.

you
know.
you
up speed
and as you up your legs
and your trembling lips to resonate.
the fall at the last moment
and it easier.
and you ask
who are we?
who am i
al?
your squeak
am i but
a crawling work of
am i but
a voice sounding
this sky
so blue it looks like it's been
am i but
the of
this through thin air?
shadow melts away
voice that dies
voice from the
keep up rhythm
up your rhythm
with
flair
hey you, legs,
hey you, my legs
go on a stroll
as the silent goes by
the silently
itself.
goodbye.
