Tightrope Dancer

All the king's horses and all the king's men,

Women, children, come one and all ages as they fantasize

Of the spectacle and they become infatuated

With the thought of being eloped with the threads

Above their heads as they watch the tight rope.

And their stares

They can point and laugh

But above, they are invisible.

Loud voices become whispers

Below, all seasons are winter.

Then the stairs that connected

One face to the next

Collapse

Their stares, no longer able to laugh

You take a step

To the world below, you are glass.

One step down and you become glass.

The quiet, whispers to one become louder

“What are they saying?”

Is this worth saving?

From a glance they all share

One glance that widens the gap

Between one world and the next.

One step

One foot in front of the other

The first half was easy,

The halfway point makes the audience faint

Routine, to think, for some it may be

You are walking normally

Only as an assurance to avoid the thought of death.

Yours, theirs, but there is only fear outside

As the only thought is how to get from one point to the next.

To the world below, you are glass.

Watching, hoping

The wires won't come loose

Or a thread falling too soon

The balance is between

One foot in front of the past

And preparing to see

Point B

One little step

It was a dance,

But to see that one little step

Outside of perfection

Would affirm

That you are glass.
