Fishnets and dance shoes
acrobatic wishes
one foot in front
of the other. Keep
going, never look
down; never look
back. I've got
the knack, they
tell me. I have
reached the middle,
and do not want
to be riddled with
fear of failing,
fear of falling.
There's a strange
voice calling, but
I must not listen.
Keep going. Never
look down; never
look up.

When I lived in China, I learned this was the only way to navigate through the massive crowds of people. Keep your eye on the horizon, and just keep going. Lovely write, Sara.

I am not good with crowds if I can’t see a clear space. Thanks, Misk!
