Freefall

Freefall
is falling but at least its
free. I don't even know
whether I jumped or was pushed,
but it hardly matters now
I'm up here. No wings
or net but for an instant
anyway there's a great
view: the sea,
a line of surf, brown cliffs
tufted with shrub, your upturned
face a white zero.
I wish I knew
whether you'll catch or watch.

~Margaret Atwood
