Foot From Death
A foot from death
An edge that comes to a halting stop
My feet take one step closer
While I stare to the sands below
It is that sand
Not the fall
Not the wind rushing past me
But the sand that could kill
Small, grainy pieces of memories
Memories I can no longer face
Faces I can no longer place
And this spot
This spot
This secret overworld of lovely views
That leads me to be
One foot from death
I take a deep breath
Then a step forward just to feel the rush
Then I back away
Back into the weird collections of the past and future
The collection we call life
