Elevation
Climbing hills and seeking the top, I stop to ponder the sky, the space between my brain, the clouds, the feeling that floats in and out and pulls like huge magnets. The edge is now only in my imagination. Once it was real. Standing at cliffs’ edges, overlooking darkness and doom. Now the edge is a piece of paper I draw the folds and flies away into dawn’s shadows. Memory is clawing at the door. I ignore, or try to. I open windows to let in the now. I see there is really no cliff. For I can walk on air and swim through the wind. Yet, at times it’s fun to stand at the edge and look back and forth. As long as I remember I’m not stuck.
