Tightrope

I am a man
On a tightrope
Strung dramatically
Between two skyscrapers
Paradoxically above
A sandcastle and
Its moat

I am a man
On three legs
Walking between
Two mountains
Listing in clouds
And rain and
Gulleys

I am a man
On one leg
Airborne
Above peak and
Valley and climbers
Vertiginous vista
Below

I am a drone
A skyward glance
At myself
And the lost
Days of wasted
Journeys and
Folktales
