There’s nothing remarkable
about giving Gravity
his way, nothing noteworthy
about this free-fall; no great
burden of excellence hangs
about the necks of the damned
as they rot in earthen graves.
.

to draw comments from the stands,
stumbling too easy to raise
an eyebrow or stir surprise.

So when she rose from the dead,
walked away from the compost
in her burnt orange platform
heels, she really stepped it up.
