Leveled

By Tony Brown

leveled
by the minute teasing
of greater life
he fell from the top
of the rock wall into
the deep water
but did not die

shook it out of his hide
and came to shore
quieter

ever after he slept
perfectly

and once awake
cared less than he did before
about becoming
another

and so became
another

  This made me think about lots of things I’m sure you didn’t intend, not knowing me. Means a lot. Pearl
