the world you see if your parachute fails

so i lost you
on the other end of the phone
falling to the earth now
believe me it won’t fall alone
and as i fall, i guess
i deserve to be this free
i don't know if someone
will soften the surface for me?

i pull the ripcord of friendship to open my love
but insecure plans come away in my hands;
a handful of feathers grasped from a dove...



so i go down
there's a river that’s rushing to me
perhaps there my blood will flow
to the ocean or up through the trees
and maybe you'll dial a gathering of agents
who will wonder who was to blame?
then access my dental records
to discover if i have a name

i pull the ripcord2 of friendship to open my love
but insecure plans come away in my hands;
the pages of some novel torn from above

so i lost you

and now the blue

evaporates into white

and i am tumbling

with the rain

i love to

watch

fall

as

i

.
