Khaki gray walls
Dark gray stripes
Horizontal
Defining each floor
Peering over the ledge
Squinting
Black marble tile below
Windows reflecting rainbows

First one foot
Then the next
Steady steady
Counting
One
Two
Three
Four
Five
Release the left hand
Then the right

Weightlessly
Arms rising
Sun on her hair
And shoulders
Lifting her face to its warmth
Standing on tip toes

One deep breath

And

She
