Fall

 

In keeping with the principle of relativity,

when the branch gave, she travelled past galaxies,

enchanted by their beauty, gently down,

admiring Autumn’s Doppler Effect on the stars,

the shift from green to reds, browns and yellows.


Near the speed of light, she might have mapped

the universe but for this reverie,

so when she touched down (with a frightening thud),

the research was left undone; subsequently

her attention was diverted into a different field.
