Have you ever looked up at the sky long enough, your stomach dips like it does before falling? You suddenly feel the earth has shifted and you're falling, falling up into the clouds, its side tinged with light like its dipped in the melting sun.
It's the same feeling at night, when you look up, the sky has transformed into a big black veil, a streak of purple vanishing in the horizon. The stars look back at you, winking, blinking, waiting. Then you have the urge to fall up into the sky. It feels like falling. Like running instead of walking. You're falling instead of flying.
When you look up at the sky, it doesn't matter which way is up or down, you want to fall up into the clouds and the stars. You want to jump from the earth up into the sky, not fly, like a big blanket to save your fall.
