A Slip Upon the Hallway Stair

Heel, breaking the plane; Subtle distance unexpected - Body charged numb With fear of death, Or perhaps the fear Of not quite dying. Clutching at items, Clutching at nothing. As your fists curl in A whoop of breath Escapes, Sprawling, Fallen, Or saved From a lower stair’s perspective.
