Here
Stand here in the precipice
Bent, bowed, your knees shaking uncontrollably
Breath forced out, coerced out of your body
Here
The pressure of your bladder is wailing
The gaze of something terrible lies ahead waiting
Look meekly and be afraid
Here
A leaf amidst a torrential storm
A meat being fed to a chained dog
Be an offering for fear
Here
Take a step forward
Be horrified
Be brave
