Falling Action. How can one recognize falling action in a minimal poem?

Among beets there is a discernible falling (& rising) rhythm. Now, can you hear? The same can be said of cheese. However, it is more difficult to discern.

  1. {falling} she was falling out
    of my car and the horses could not stem
    their hot breath

    and rising from the river bed
    a visitation from the czar

    they pick the rampant cloverbeds until
    moonlight descends upon their sled

    sinners want another ride
    empty of all doubt
