Falling like a piece of paper – v4
a moth startled by my approach
losing
its hold on the building
falling
like a leaf, like a piece of paper
catching itself, regaining
power,
again
finding flight
curled like a fan-shaped coil, a corkscrew,
of
long delicate
pencil
shavings
new,
bright
colored pencils
a manual pencil sharpener held,
turning, purposely, slowly in my hands
soaring
away, higher, higher,
wings rigged, now
sails,
tumbling,
falling no longer
rising in the morning sunlight
its wings
alive, aglow, ablaze
curled
like a warm potato chip
fresh from the oil, the kettle,
a
moth striking a pose
on the side
of our
building
many days in a row
