here it is

...
the little stumbles, nothing much,
just a softshoe shuffle to the side.

except if the shoe is heavy,
then you'd hear a quick step
though no step was planned.

first it was an accident, two really,
a little bit of trouble seeing the sudden stop ahead.
then a bump into a door frame, a wobble.

hanging onto a horse makes my legs strong.
I walk faster and yet not surer,
no way to predict the gentle sway that's coming.
