a tightrope spectrum of acceptable emotion

a tightrope spectrum of acceptable emotion

Walk the line;
do not 
waver.

Reach a hand out
across the
sky. 
Use paint-coated
fingers
to write each
line. Pay
attention.

Do not fall.
Do not fail.

A slip to the left
leaves a scar of 
happiness: too
bright to handle.

On the right, the
river of 
the night
sky

soaks its 
Victims
to the bone.

A fear of 
Heights sends a shiver 
down a 
spine; a foot
slips. Pay 
attention.

Do not fall,
and do not
fail.
Walk the line;

do not waver.
