Walking the tightrope.
Above and between.
Frosty slopes.
No chance for mistakes.
As the rope does shake
concentration breaks.
Two points of connection.
Multiple areas of flexion.
Fighting gravity’s rejection.
No time to trip
slip, flip or blip.
Must keep a firm grip.
Of one’s self and one’s senses.
Or face the consequences.
As the body tenses.
Forcing a deathly careen.
Down in the ravine.
Unseen in-between.
