Brainfall by Dennis Allen Lange

—

A bump on the head caused confusion,
An inner and outer contusion.
…The outer was minor,
…Not more than a shiner.
The inner brought life to conclusion.

We worry about broken bones from falls and the bruises we can
see, but it is what we cannot see that may prove to be the worst.

Bleeding by Dennis Lange

A child who falls may scratch a knee
…With trickle there, of blood.
At fatal times, pierced artery
…Will pulse from men a flood. 

And though we know the heart’s the den
…Where fresh and old appears,
A wounded heart keeps all blood in –
…That broken heart bleeds tears.

A Little Leaning by Dennis Lange

A little leaning is a dangerous thing
…When on the Eiffel Tower.
One leans too far fall summer winter spring,
…And it’s his final hour.

A little learning of that dangerous thing
…About the Eiffel Tower
May mean that one is ignorant still to cling
…When it’s within his power.

Too little learning with a little lean
…And dive will not be shallow
Into the Pierian spring. Instead, the scene
…A fatal one, they’ll hallow.
