touchdown
a soft landing
his parachute a flower-head
spread it's canopy round
he could've glided-in
on semi-folded wings
into this
theatre en plein-air
stage-set, backdrop
would they reach-up
from out of the dark
to touch his feathers
and when the music slowed
would this whole 'razmataz'
be suddenly aware
of the singe -marks
and the stardust in his hair

I would like to translate this poem
would they reach-up from out of the dark to touch his feathers...... life portrayed in a different and very original poetic way...... tony.
