Terminally ledge tipped and vertical,

I stare at stars and
shiver on the way down

as if the kinetics
slipped and slid away.

It all comes undone.
Slowly at first

then faster, as like a giant I
smash all the windmills.

At the moment of impact
the world pauses in apogee,

a collective holding of breath
while my fat head lies pin pulled.
