You are the wooden staircase that I foolishly tried climbing down. My socks were too clean for your surface; I slipped and tumbled in a torsion of flailing limbs. Each impact I bounced down harder the farther I fell for you.

Staircase Tumble
You are the wooden staircase that I foolishly tried climbing down. My socks were too clean for your surface; I slipped and tumbled in a torsion of flailing limbs. Each impact I bounced down harder the farther I fell for you.
