Way

 

After I Jumping,  

I May regret and wish to return to the platform,

Too late  Falling,   Falling.

 

After falling, A whip splits my spine,

all that I was in life is but a silhouette marked

by a chalk outline.

 

And what if I shot myself ?

The Index in its depth

feeling all the weight,

 these spasms like dread discharges
