I hadn't expected someone there
already before me.
Only lonely men come here
I heard him through my heavy breath
lonely with nothing and everything.
Down there was the sea rumbling faintly
with the froths painting themselves on the shore
like a sketch in a child's drawing book.
Height does amazing tricks, the man continued,
makes you feel invincible
stimulates you to be ****** into gravity
to fall as light as the feather.
The dusk was wrapping up the light
when I remembered having promised her
not to be late to descend.
There's a man up there, I told the gateman,
Nope, he said,
you were the only guest this evening.
