Chasm


The wind on the edge so fierce 
 
Grip waivering under such pressure
 
Eyes locked onto the abyss 
 
Limbs aching of desperation and despair 
 
The failed human suture 
 
Trying to make megalithic seams meet 
 
Stinging footprints upon your back
 
Belonging to those who cross at your expense 
 
The Precipice of choice looms in the deep
 
Does one fall, or does one favor the far ledge?
