I fell in

Toppled over the lip

When I was looking down

Listening for my stone to hit

When I lost balance

And found myself

Falling

Beyond where sunlight touches

Dropping past where the bricks turn algae green

Beyond the point where light grows dim

I fell

Until I found that I could stretch

Correct my tumble

Straighten out

And dive

Right in

    1. Yes! If you go for it who, knows? One might come up smelling of roses!
