Ninth floor

Something fell from the ninth floor

First a bright flash that wasn't there

Or there was - lament

Unheard and broken glass, then

Something fell from the ninth floor

People stood at the main entrance

In silence, smoking early in the morning

And not everyone looked up

Not everyone

When something was falling from the ninth floor

Something

Some small piece of furniture maybe

A chair, something like that

An armchair, a package. Package!

Yes, the package for sure. These things

Happen. I looked away in the last moment. I do not like

View of falling things, like furniture, packages or

Anything else

A normal day

I tell you, an ordinary Tuesday Wednesday Thursday

My God!

Who would have thought! My God

Something fell from the ninth floor

Something slim and dark-haired

At most twenty years old

Something that could speak before
