To stumble upon the void
The crevasse into space, into atmosphere, into light not darkness, into wind
Feel the heaviness of one’s feet on the stone
Touch the water as an animal that contemplates nothing
Sensations: cold, wet, resistance, bubbles, shimmering submersion
Touch the animal, both enjoy the furry rub
Dangerous perch
What’s holding it there? What’s holding me here?
How do I interact with such a delicate balance?
The earth is gone, the feet are light, the legs are numb
Air rushing over our ears
Hear our breathing clearer than ever
Within our boat, our movement
Our feel, our run,
Our body
