---

As life and death

have their backs turned

on one another

never looking.

Fall as hard

as the season,

let the air change,

breathe it in.

Asleep, whole conversations are had.

Awake, not a word is said.

Fall as hard

as a body

from high up,

early for a meeting.

Wall as hard

as life and death.

We turn back.

There's no seeing over.
