once at least / he staid / footfated stuck
a slight incline declined simple steps / he sweated wets of waits
grace passed as easy as breezyfree pace could progress
trouble with / confidence / never stopped grace
what-if-I-can’t hatchlings / nibbled his leaves him / the adventurer
he wanted to / movemore / push / one foot / in front
but other would not realise / release
was right left / even slow go

grace said mad miles / wild wills/ ledges / edges / don’t hurt/
fear goes
this way / feel and wail / perhaps laugh and shake
That’s easy he thought
and whambam he wails / a wide peal of dread
lung slung paralysis / made
terror not firma / no more stop light fright
and where on earth? / where in space? / where? had he gone?
grace laughed / this was only a small step
AHHH he yelled from the other side of the universe
feardom freedom
