sometimes I wonder how the sky got that blue
why these trees are so green
not lime, light, dark, or tinted
but so.

how someone would choose somewhere
so beautiful
to push themselves over the edge.

there aren't very many straight lines
in nature.
trees bend, rocks jag, plants curve
albeit gracefully.
the water off the falls arches
the same pattern, but different everytime.

the metal plaque with the name on it
that warns us that you died
and how
and to be safe
has only straight lines.
