The question of gravity
was settled with the impact
of a non-Newtonian kind.

Less science than sense.
The sensation of scraped hearts,
hands and knees.

The body is an athletic cliche;
a soma collapsed; expiring.

Get up, get it, get out.
The hammer in the chest.
Bags of air, heaving.

Say something, anything:
breathe, curse,
confess...

But stop the damn weeping.
