head first,
in the pose
of the Hanged Man
in the Tarot.
This is what I notice,
because I do.
Suffering is
as unavoidable as rain,
and death
comes for all of us.
Could it have been
avoided?
We don't avoid the falling every year,
but I don't know that
we have the lesson
down to heart yet.
The cards flip over:
the tower reversed
and this poor soul
plummeting.
A card presented to us
until
we nearly forget
this was a man.
