Dreams of Falling

Dreams of Falling

By Brandon Palzkill

Falling, flailing,

through the frosty,

pillowy clouds.

A speeding penny,

accelerating,

down Empire State.

Winds whipping; roaring.

The Earth unfolds

its waiting arms

to receive me;

crushing embrace.

Close my eyes, tightly,

and wait for impact;

any moment n-

...I really do

despise that dream.
