Walls + Falling

Of the secrets in walls
People talk
but the carpet’s
fibers soaked with secrets
the stories lie flat
while guests step on them
beneath the carpet
on the underside
the dark stains of climactic moments

Stumbling —
The feeling of pushing nothing
The break of the expecatation
The lack of repelling resistance
The shock of momentum
The loss of stability
The fear of uncertainty
The grasp of hope
The slip of feet
some how moving backwards
The space of the air
parting the grabbing hands
The paddle of shoulders
swimming forward
The feeling of betrayal
at your own self
at what you pushed
at your lack of coordination
and your trust in what was coming
