The Falling Man

299792458 m/s

The speed of light.

Frozen in a picture

nameless man falling.

 

To many words crash

clash and smash together.

Do seconds seem forever?

Prayers of 

I should have never.

or

An echo of defiant laughter?!

A challenge to what comes after?

or

A mind like settled water

saying goodbye to son or daughter?

 

It may take 299792458 life times

to understand

The mind of the Falling Man.
