We had a conversation today
about living and dying
about life and death
about those forty-nine
that we do not know
and others that we do
this conversation was full of questions
and no answers
trying to look at what is close
and what is far away
what is it that we can touch
And then reflected light
from the windshields of the cars outside
cast shadows
through the window
of the upside down acrobat
and moved him like one leaving
across the wall.
