ENCAPSULATED IN THE COCOON OF TIME
To Danelle Payne
I had a silk parachute, the RZ16
It opened automatically when I jumped by means of a cord
Attached to a strongpoint inside the aircraft,
The cord
Pulled out the parachute and rigging lines as I fell away
In the slipstream
When the parachute was clear, final tie broke at the last point
Of contact with the cord
And I floated away free
Oh, the fearsome experience of jumping from an aircraft
For the very first time
I hoped, I would, with a little luck, land safely in an open pasture
Then the sudden gust of wind
Changed the direction of my fall
Frozen
Encapsulated in the cocoon of time
I began to fall into the abyss
Infinitely deep
Darkest blue
Abyss of your eyes
Under the white dome of the parachute silk
Im still falling
Still falling

Having done this several times, may I finish the last 2 lines?
And suddenly I stopped
Hard.
