Falling
When I was two my
Sister and I played almost all day.
One day we stared a race
Running up the basement stairs as fast as we could
Feet pounding hearts racing
Then to get in front of me my sister
Shoved and pushed
I tumbled to the hard cement ground
I clashed hitting my face with a bang
Feeling my eye stinging with pain
Then I blacked out
And woke with fright
I was stunned then started to cry
Then to scream as my body ached
I felt odd kind of floaty
Then I was not in my body
I was watching my body
Bruised and swollen
My legs and arms
Spread out like a bowl
Of pasta that had hit the ground
Noodles flung in all directions
The next thing I knew
I was at the hospital
The doctors checking
My black and blue swollen shut eye.
But saying I was okay even though
I fell from 6ft onto cement
They said that I had enough sinus cavities
To cushion my fall
So I did not hurt myself too badly.
