April’s fiction prompt of the month was “falling.”
If Time Were a Fall
If time were a fall,
Where would I begin,
And where would I end?
If time were a fall,
How long would it last?
Could my descent be controlled?
If time were a fall,
Could I pick myself up
And start over again?
If time were a fall,
Is it only gravity at my helm?
Is it my ship or theirs?
And if time were a fall—
Ah, all of this is making my head hurt.
I need time to think.

Side note [from Ian Sifton]: “I know that the phrase ‘If time were a fall’ contains a grammatical error, but I intentionally wrote it that way because I felt it sounded better than ‘If time was a fall.'”
