Literature Text

You fall -
but do not worry about hitting the ground
The space is clean
but the air sucks dirty.
Splashing down -
the chair absorbs your pain
but it is not enough,
too saturated with tears.

The river runs a different shade,
salty - like the capsules.
The engine runs,
The song plays -
but the notes hear different.
The night stars glisten in your doused eyes,
Peace settles and aquaints itself.

Forever is upon, forever is the end.
A few years ago a family member of mine took his own life in his car. We were not particulaly close but obviously the news was a shock. This was the inspiration for this poem.
This poem is not a tribute to him as like I said I was not close enough to him to be able to write about him. This is mearly my attempt at tryig to understand.
