Free Fall

Suddenly the bottom falls out,
Cellophane wings melt away under brutal radiance
Downward spiral of the fallen seraphim
There is no respite for the melancholy
No exit ramp for the insane
Only a rapid descent into unknown skies
Indifferent clouds brush by
Belligerent sun taunting from above
The fear and pleasure cocktail is best served neat
Circulation increased/consciousness waning
Hearts beating out a sold out duet
The impossibly thin thread stretches from soul to soul
Carrying a message of salvation
