Unknown to Dante

Ice sculptures,
F
A
L
L
I
N
G
Bathing our world,
creeping up our ankles.
Are we cleansed?

Hot fronts,
F
A
L
L
I
N
G
mixing with the risen cold,
tearing our paths to the future.
Are we relieved?

Acid drops,
F
A
L
L
I
N
G
we try to catch them, without knowing,
on our tongues.
Are we high?

Smoke rings
F
A
L
L
I
N
G
around our heads,
our own little game.
Are we alive?

Angels of our minds
F
A
L
L
I
N
G
kissing the earth,
a celestial misfortune.
Are we safe?

    It was kind of a fun way to read a poem...
    I could not find any spelling errors.
    I liked that it had a sort of puzzle inside of it, the words hold more than you can actually grasp at first. You have to pay acute attention to make sure that you don't miss anything.
    That is good.
