Like sitting at the end of a waterfall

watching currents rush by 

and fall and fall

so far that the water

will never reach the ground

so far that the wind just carries it away

molecule by tiny molecule

vapor in the air

It’s that one special moment

terror and calm wonder simultaneous

gut wraps around my spine and floats

lukewarm shivery sensations

that I can’t ignore 

poised to slip through reality

feels like I can

Fall forever

At the tallest waterfalls

the rainbows arc beneath you

red, yellow, green

sunlight glancing off droplets

that fall through the atmosphere

9.8 meters per second

can’t even see the ground

past the clouds

If you aren’t living on the edge

You take up too much space

faces peak over sides

end of the sidewalk

tenuous ties to the firmament

tiny spider silk threads

snap snap snap freedom

feels like vertigo
