a poem.
i this poem
to five.
to a descending a staircase.

hey you, who are descending staircase
with sweat on brow
afraid of down you let your gaze
glide down the like a shadow.
yes, you.
underpass in springtime smells of dust
and a breeze blows by.
keep up your
keep up rhythm
and climb down stairs
as if your depended on that.
pass by leaning building
kick the away
the cats too
and go fast to the counter.

are
beings.
keep up rhythm
keep up rhythm
and when you can't take it
when body
and your legs reached their limit
at that
a soft fall ensue.
you as if
legs fell off your body
or maybe a pause
like a heart
but you know what it is.

you
know.
you
gather up
and as you speed up legs
and your lips start to resonate.
the comes at the last moment
and it easier.
and you ask
who are we?
who am i
al?
your joints
am i but
a crawling of art?
am i but
a sounding away
this sky
so blue it looks it's been dyed?
am i but
the of
this fall through air?
shadow that away
voice that dies
voice from the
keep up your
keep up rhythm
grace
with
hey you, legs,
hey you, my distant
go on a stroll
as the silent goes by
the city
itself.
goodbye.
