My knees tremble
My toes curl around the jagged rock
We are at the end of the world

Looking over the edge makes my chest tight
Utter darkness looks back at me
But then –
The sun appears
It starts at the bottom – a speck

As time goes by it rises
Illuminating what is beneath me
Birds fly
amongst atmospheric dust

Trees reach low – they grow upside down
Gravity does not rule here
A dog floats upwards and barks at me
He’s my neighbours’
We’d been searching for him

It seems at the end of the world
Lives a different time
The far future
It’s exciting
But I step back wary
Even a bright future has a little bit of shadow
