tightrope with balance tethered to a fine thread. break, swing, loom, yet falling feels safer, an appeal of sorts put to test the water. gravity drops me, hangs hopes on a ledge. beat, space, beat. flow slowing, heart stopping, digits slipping, valve skipping. save this dear tightrope, don’t let me fall slash tell to let go, winds will catch weight waves break on walls.

“catch”
tightrope with balance tethered to a fine thread. break, swing, loom, yet falling feels safer, an appeal of sorts put to test the water. gravity drops me, hangs hopes on a ledge. beat, space, beat. flow slowing, heart stopping, digits slipping, valve skipping. save this dear tightrope, don’t let me fall slash tell to let go, winds will catch weight waves break on walls.
