viaje en paracaídas

I'm not sure how I wanted this to unravel
nor how I expected the loose ends to settle

but I don't think this is either

(just ride the current, soar on the jet-stream, skylark.
I suppose that's the answer)

but the higher the flight, the more vulnerable the flyer,
the faster the fall, the harder the landing.
the views are more spectacular, yes, but also more difficult to decipher and to retain.

grounded temporarily for repairs (I guess)
tomorrow I'll be back in the air (I hope)
