The Triangle

Standing there suspended 

Between the heavens and 

The abyss I am at the 

Pinnacle of the Triangle 

 

Time stands still my 

Heart is in my throat 

The spirit is willing 

But my calculations are weak 

 

Casting this fragile apparatus  

Off the precipe 

The rush of cool air 

The thrill of adrenaline  

 

I am following an parabol-ic

Path if only I

Could get my co-ordinates

Right I might transform


This one way trip to

A stable orbit somewhere

Beyond this light-cone - my

Focci approaching infinity


Thought I'd triangulated my position 
 
But the hypoteneus curves
 
Spaceandtime warps my 
 
evolving perspective


 

I am accelerating along 

A 3-second path I cannot predict 

Light itself appears to wrap around me 

Until I am swallowed by the deep 

 

When I finally surface again 

Time and space have  

Resumed but the vertigo 

Of total relativity remains
