Stairs fly as straight as hawks;
Or else in spirals, curve out of curve, pausing
At a ledge to poise their wings before relaunching.
Stairs sway at the height of their flight
Like a melody in Tristan;
Or swoop to the ground with glad spread of their feathers
Before they close them.
- Flight of Stairs by A.S.J. Tessimond

What a great poem. Makes me look at stairs in a whole new way - which is pretty much the point of poetry, I guess. Thanks for sharing that.
