Hour 6

the medieval faithful believed Spain’s Cape Finisterre was the end of the world

and to sail beyond that horizon was to fall off the very face of the earth

I stand on the rocky shore and feed the strands of my mother’s hair to the Atlantic

I release her to the other side

my feet planted in this world

without her
