Hanging in space
     By a thread
At the edge of an abyss
     Look down, breathless

Waiting.
Waiting.
Waiting.

For the unknown
Eyes feather shut, step forward
Breath stops. Heart
            drops.
A rush in my tummy
Waiting for
           Impact!--
The pain, the thrill
And I...
        Float on a cloud
Softly catch me,
   hold me.
Flounder in the gentle
     treachery
Then     surrender, sink...
       and drift
               away.
