So, the jester is doing flips over the tightrope walker, while traversing between two towers. The tightroper drops his pole—you can conjecture what this pole represents (God, religion, codes of life, whatever) Nietzsche wrote in short aphorisms; little cryptic word-images—so, dude drops his pole. Grabs at the wire. And falls to his death.
Zarathustra rushes to the dying man’s side. Explains about God’s death, and that there is no reason to fear death, no Hell, no God. Nothing.
Having sufficiently administered the dying man his last rights (at least in Zar’s eyes), Zarathustra exits, and the tightroper is left to contemplate Nothing in his remaining minutes.
