High Wire
To Angel Quiros
when least expected, silence
imagine the horror of standing
thirty feet above concrete without a net
not the usual faked-slip stunt that day
waiting lazy outside, we heard
an unexpected silence
shatter mid-music
knew at once rushed in to see
thirty feet of concrete and no net
and his brother perched above with
eyes mouth arms hands flung open
not expecting silence
his eyes staring at the
huge and empty air of all
thirty feet of concrete without a net
he was right there - an arm away
until that suprised and silent
twist of thirty feet toward concrete, no net
