Perched

Perched on the edge
Of an abyss
I do not know
What lies
At the bottom
I just know the rim
My toes grip
Perched
Like some bird
Who would choose to fly
Not leap
Perched
Considering the next
Step
The next
Swoop
The next leap
Into the abyss
I do not know
What lies
At the bottom
I just grip
With my toes.
