Vertigo

CC-BY-NC: Chris Allen

At the top of the car park;
four floors – high enough,
his life on the edge was stark,
but taking another step tough.

Instead, like James Stewart
in Vertigo he looked down,
and the world swam,
gazing up he frowned.

He thought he could see
Kim Novak running in the park,
in a vain effort to flee
madness, husband, she was marked,

to fall, he rushed to embrace her,
like Madeleine – a chameleon lover.
