I dreamt of Falling - once

I faced the sky and not the ground

coming into the dream midfall

Air rushing around me, only blue surrounding me 

Not as water does, but the air like silk 

Battering and howling past myself and the cold blue sky.

I fell forever, stomach cartwheeling

feet to throat to feet again

Until I wasn't ...

The metal crumpled like paper, buckling from impact

Into a perfect mold 

And still the sky; the most perfect blue 

Buildings tall against the blue like gleaming jewelry boxes 

They weren't there before

My vision fades, tunneling in on itself

The perfect blue, replaced by popcorn white...

... I'm awake.
