Is it that routinely the captain
opened the undercarriage
and tipped him out?
And others will fall in this way
on almost exactly the same spot.
Allah gives and Allah takes away
said his father.
He was meant to die
at this time.
But the son who had fallen
to earth groaned
It was the wrong time.
The wrong way.
