Point Pleasant, 1967

I felt the weight shift when the cables snapped I felt steel and stone cracking in the wind I'm still falling down Caught on the wind like a feather I'm still falling down Waiting to drown in the river below I felt the window shatter on impact I felt metal twisting around my chest I'm still falling down Caught on the wind like a feather I'm still falling down Waiting to drown in the river below Then the moment came The water swallowed me Buried in the river The Ohio became my grave
