Endless Free Fall

This is about the trauma of those things that come out of nowhere and change your entire life in a split second.

————

A bomb exploded in my world today.

It came without warning.

It blew apart my sense of life,

The sense of safety I was forming,


I can't identify all my feelings.

I can identify only fear.

Right and wrong have changed their meaning.

And what makes sense is no longer clear.


I know the bomb has changed my life.

But I don’t know precisely why.

I can’t find a way to anchor myself

Because all I can do is cry.


What does this bomb mean?

Does it have meaning at all?

I can't seem to get a sense of myself

I feel like I'm tumbling in freefall.


I live in fear of the bombs of life

They come with no warning at all.

They spin me around, set me in flight.

They condemn me to endless freefall.
