Swirls of colors zoom past my head
Filling up the space above and below

The edge of the earth

Where void and expanse
Touch
Tempting peace and time
Like the creation of Adam
Always in each other’s orbit
But never touching
Never connecting

I hold my breath in my chest
Feeling it’s warmth spread through my limbs
The sun is so close
But it’s blazing fire keeps burning

The chill of emptiness
Penetrates beneath my skin
Burrows deep in my meat and bones
There won’t be much more time here
And I’m at peace with that end
At peace with this choice
To sit at the edge of the world
