On the (clean) edge
I, the midwife, the laborer, and the child
Before me, all of the unborn lie in wait
Behind me, all of the once born hold my head
I, the wind between worlds
Holding the bonds of time
The edges of which cut
like a sharp blade
into a clean edge.
You are born or you are not
You are dead or you are not
You are here or you are not
The canyon still comes to an edge,
one lip forever separated
from its partner now holding
worlds between worlds
and the space below them.
I, the time and the movement
You, the Here and the Now
the wait and see
Maybe the edge of change
won’t cut a canyon this time
