I took one step
Down the stairs,
And I began to fall.
Wind rushing up,
I going down.
My screaming was
The only sound.
I saw colors
Flash, before my eyes.
I heard screeching
By the demons of the night.
It felt as if
There was no end.
Falling, screaming,
An infinite descent.
But then there was
A startling thud.
And I awoke
In the morning sun.
