Flip-Flop [dark humor]

Her legs are balanced on the wire,
graceful in her skill, like a swan in water.
One leg moves past the other in a tight motion
and then-


flip

She lands delicately, with arms stretched
and toes pointed; it's as if she never moved.
The wire starts to shake, unexpected,
and even the most experienced can fail.
