Black ice.
At night I walk
with care. Each step
on point.
Then . . .
beneath my back is black.
My eyes fixed on stars, of cold and diamond flame.
Ice. Black ice.

I know this story! I too have fallen, but fortunately I also got up many years ago. I am glad you were okay. Here in Canada all the snow was coated with freezing rain, so we know have white ice all around us!

Some have contacted me personally, expressing their grief about my falling. I did fall as described, but it was many, many years ago. I remain hale and hearty!
