“Falling Cup” by Brad Hunter
The handle of the cup breaks,
Swallows dance impossibly on the air.
A bell is heard in a mysterious distance
Beyond engine and hammer song,
Beneath tire hum and street hysteria.
A cracked brick catches your eye
And the world stops turning.
Just for an instant, thoughts refuse to rise,
Past and future fall off the edges of time.
