Tempting Death

My heart pounding
The rocks crumbling
I look back over the edge 
The steep slope looming down
As horrifying images of falling pound through my head
I take a step back 
Then another
And then.....
                I slip
But the rope catches me
And I continue 
Tempting death
As I 
Abseil.
