Gravity

I can die numerous times, feel the pain piercing my chest, lose consciousness and see the film of my life with the cheap details  that (after all) make sense. I can die numerous times, say farewell, understand (finally) the meaning of this and that episode, see cups with the brown dots  of  my childhood, my father's mustache, the freckled breast of my mother, the greenblue  horizon of the  Beach House . I can die countless countless times but I can never forget the brutality of the separation from your body, slipping away with the cruelty only gravity can have.
