Danger.
Warning.
Don't step there.
Please.
Don't step that low.
Don't go high, either.
Don't even move.
The mines are all around you.
Tongue trips my words.
Brain reconsiders the words after they fall.
Sound pulls them back to the depths, and they are not heard.
The words I wanted to speak worked hard to get to the tip of my tongue.
