a question takes a tentative step onto the wire

and wonders…

what is above and below that wire,

the risks and heights of discovery?

and the body of  the question

that puts one’s self on the line…

where is the center of that gravity

the head, the heart, the belly of the beast

who is asking what?

the foot slides out, on a one note high

a pull to vertical

a snap to attention.

eyes open to see.
