1. The Falling Cloud
She was falling
and yet
she couldn't stop.
The ice had already crawled in
And she was padded
up tight.
She didn't need to stop:
the high speed left no scar
in her numbing shell
And it was only a distant thought
of regret
in the little part of her
that did not drift along.
The rest of her was privy
to the rain ahead;
It would drain
once
and she would fall apart.
She knew it
but it was only a little drop of water
in an iced-over mind.
