walking into space – May 5

5.5.2014

walking into space

bridge to nowhere

above the falls

terrifies

 

run, flee, knees going

going. Lord pull me

back. breath come

quick

 

terror hits at hearts

out of control fearing

the death lying close

to hand

 

we walk as if mortality

was a joke. until it

isn’t.
