Skyman Poem by Matt Pocock

A Skyman floats from crackling sunlit sky
With full intention to himself deny
He takes a pull upon his parachute
And as it's failing, falls to fear's fruit

He has a moment left to save his name
To alienated friends he left for fame
But the impact scatters out a bloody crown
He's a monkey in a cage, a crying clown

Relief and melancholy fill his sighs
A fitting way to watch his own demise
He cannot see the blood left by his name
So he watches clouds go by his halcyon plane
