Did that...

Did that...

A Poem by SelfHelp
"

The descent from this world to the next.

"

Small lines. Tiny people.

I wonder what they’re doing down there.

Cold air. Tiny flakes.

I wonder what I’m doing up here.

Did something happen to me?

 

Dark smoke. Red fire.

I wonder what’s going on down there.

Invisible air. Black clouds.

I wonder what’s going on up here.

Did something happen to me?

 

Foaming water. Loud hissing.

I wish I could see better.

Warm air. Light rain.

I wish I could hear better.

Did something happen to me?

 

Loud cries. Tight hugs.

I wonder what they’re doing down there.

Thin air. Trailing tears.

I wonder what I’m doing up there.

Did something happen to me?

 

Twisted metal. Scorched asphalt.

I think I know what’s going on down there.

No air. Bright light.

I think I know what’s going on up here.

Did that happen to me?

 

I know.
