a new poem


Edge of the World

If ever I’m far beyond the place I've never been -

Reepicheep paddling his boat w/ dogged courage
all the castles of Atlantis crumbling -

I will find you there, waiting & smiling, cooing like a dove,
saying, My love my love, and worrying over my flesh wounds

with such dismay, such innocent, relieved concern
my heart will actually break into halves
because I will have found you at the edge of the world
and, finding you, know my end is yet a little further, a little deeper

into the black.
