FALLING SKY


Who thought this could happen?

Who thought that the sky

would fall on our heads?

It's not what they said.



We'll be drowning they said.

We'll be swimming they said

In sobbing seas with the flavour of tears.

In oceans of wavelets lap-lapping our heads.



Look what's happened instead.

Its not what they said.

When the ice caps gained freedom

they flew up to the skies,

they dissolved into clouds,

then they rained on our heads.



That's not what they said.
