Leap

tight wire
under fire
rhythm gently
beating in your brain
like
a song of death
as it sings
like a siren
coaxing
lulling
pulling
leading to the edge
of unawareness
of unworthiness
feet tipping forward
on that tight wire
so unbalanced
harmony lost
purpose moot
if there were a purpose at all
tight wire
breaks
relief
   free-fall
