When we lived on the edge of the world
the mountain so close we breathed in the hot scent of rock
even with snow clustered in the grasses
our dog howled with the coyote
When we lived on the edge of the world
volcano so close its hot breath laid upon the air like dragon mist
our fish moved to its rhythms
we danced with the trees
When we lived on the edge of the world
ocean so close we heard boulders groan in its night waves
meteors sizzled over head but silent
it was nameless winds that told our story
When we lived on the edge of the world
city so close its birds adopted us
I listen to them fly their wings sing
do they know the mountain I wonder
are we both wild still even upon the asphalt
Rockets going off in the darkness
scattering light cinders
I will always remember their reflections
softly falling into themselves upon the alpine lake on the edge of the world
before life unfolded
🎇🎆💫✨
