Life is gravity
As we fall. We are stretching 
Our arms towards anything
Worth grasping as we go.
We breath the fear, the blur
The rush of excitement, of experience.
We can never forget
That there is something coming-
an end to all this.
It's there even now: dragging us down
Hair and teeth, noses, ears, our flesh folds
Over itself to brace for impact.
It's slowing the inside, as the outside 
Speeds up. 
Traveling to something we've not before met.
Not yet.
