And Then She Fell

Never one to look back,
and with the dull swirling of certainty setting in
she steadied herself;
jumped.
And then she fell.
A topple, tumble, to a tailspin.
The descent, a numbing lethargy
with enough time to dwell.
An instant, down to her dais;
breaking any left unbroken.
So she steadied herself;
released.
And then she fell.
A swift, slip, to a slant.
The drop, intelligible and irregular
with enough time to quell.
A new position, reflected.
Steady.
