He told me
Some of them were holding hands
Leaping from
The flaming
Windows.

To these ones
Leaping, holding hands
Holding
Their own
I open
My arms.

Everything
It is
Necessary
To understand
They mastered
In the last
Rich
Moments
That
They owned.




-excerpted from "Falling Bodies" by Alice Walker- Absolute Trust in the Goodness of the Earth
Life is the riddle
Of which we're caught in the middle.
A couple of lucky ones
Tangled up in too much love
