hand
over
hand
step by step
crossing this wretched foot bridge
large g ap s loom
don't look down
down
down
towards the scrabbling masses
reaching up
up
up
to
tear you from your perch
head up
hands on the rope
your feet walking in faith.
only then,
will you reach
your
heart's
desire.

When I was four or five, I watched my father walk across a rickety old foot bridge with missing slats across a huge ravine. This memory has been replaying itself in my head quite a lot of late and this is what came of it in my writing.
