The Gravity of Failing and Falling Things

The Gravity of Failing and Falling Things
David J Walker


The equation of a Once and Done 
is not a number 

The door we entered 
is not there anymore

The air is stale and the sunlit room 
is shaded 

Works in words have faded 
into foreign phrases 

With both old 
and bolder meaning 

Dissonance is the new order 
of the old orchestra conductor 

It has come to mind that the
Thing about every yesterday seeks 

A fresh answer to 
ancient questions

When Gravity falls
	All fail 
To make complete confessions 

When Gravity fails
	All fall 
But in diverse directions
