Blue Sky Seeks No Definition
Here, at the edge,
fear scrapes my throat
and paranoia pummels my belly
as this vast new space
emerges before our astonished eyes
like a world waiting to be traveled
or a poem begging to be written.
Here, at the edge,
I must decide
like an urbane raven,
to soar on whatever thermals
we might encounter,
or turn back to murky safety,
my solitary fortress
grey with the absence of passion
and predictable as prayer.
Here, at the edge,
an expanse of undefined sky
as blue and joyful as your eyes
seduces me and I fall,
reaching my hand out
to a beatitude we share
that mocks elucidation
and keeps time to
its own fierce metre.
