Blondin Walking The Tightrope Poem by Brian Taylor

Blondin Walking The Tightrope



Everyman is Blondin,
Every lifetime a rope,
finer than a spider's thread,
sharper than a sword,
stretched between birth and death
(breath and breath)
across Niagara.

(Charles Blondin, a French acrobat, was the first man ever to cross Niagara Falls by tightrope in 1859.)
