I feel it coming,
not far off.
~The downslide.
On unstable footing,
I sense the shift
of angle below me,
too late to dig in my heels.
The decline is imminent,
my balance is off.
One miscalculation
and now the bottom
rushes towards me
in accelerated speed.
No moment to seize,
nor hope to clutch,
no way to maintain
stable equilibrium,
upon this slippery slope.
