Hitting the Silk

The golden parachute we really need

We need for the emotions. Severance

Can be, of course, itself a payoff. Bleed,

Heal, put behind … Still, falling from the chance

Of hurt through gentle letdown to a ground

On which to keep both feet has too a role.

Do not suppose, Fall Guy, there will be found

A second time such fancies of control

As once you had, or so bright element.

Long love, deep air, and if not silk and gold,

Haiku and kamikaze; loss, descent,

Downsizing. Wrap the final scarf, unfold

The chute, and skydive neat: response in kind—

Part suicide, part payout, part rebirth.
