Before She FellBefore she fellHer walls trembled rickety in the wind like the loose little twigs of a child’s fortress.Before she fellThe wind buffeted at our backs, and we were the beast whose paw made the air ripplelike a puddle and the walls shake.Before she fellEach wave to us was one of pure energy, anticipation boiled down and smoked liketobacco so that the air tasted of excitement on our side, wretched smokedownwind on the other.Before she fellI readied myself, and my horse turned to breeze under my hackles and my sword hilt tounburning holy fire.Before she fellI gloried in the frightful gazes of the men whose eyes poked me in experiment across thefield and then flinched back.Before she fellI revelled under the blazing blue ethereality of the sky and spoke in soft words to mycommander - “Have you ever seen a sky so blue?”Before she fellShe said to me, “No - the sword does not illuminate for me what it does for me. To methe sky is grey and the sword in my own belly.”Before she fellI heard her say that and saw her tired face, but did not take on the weight from her so asto keep hold of my own antigravity.Before she fellI dropped all weights akin to hers and flew - faster and faster and faster and faster -cradled between the bosoms of Earth and Sky, whose warm hands I felt steering meto victory.Before she fellIt was our war to win, and they knew it, and they crowded around her walls accordingly.Yes, before she fellOur past of failure was already fading.Then she fell,Her words morphing into prophecy,And like a charcoal rubbing our ashes revealed the grooves of all our mistakes onceagain, and forever.
This is a completely random piece that really is not much more than its words. It stems morethan anything from my appreciation of running and the human ability to sweat.
