Rough landing

Isn’t it funny

how we both grinned 

at the prospect of imminent death -

as if to say,

fun as this life might have been,

bring it on:

I am ready for the next adventure.


Isn't it perverse

that the real reason behind my grin

is that we could be dying together -

as if I feared

that we may never experience romance,

ever again,

and dying with you

is the best ending I could hope for.


Isn't it absurd

that after all that angst

about death, adventure, and love -

all that we have

is the realisation that this,

like most of life,

is just chaos imagined in our heads

as the plane eases quietly into the tarmac.
