49




there is this edge
this cliff
darkness that pulls
down
at the core
to where nothing matters
though everything matters
and stillness takes over
limbs
can't move
minds
can't make them move
death is near
as near as each breath
one can not let go
or hold on
given over
to what is greater
as time
stands still
and
life goes on

  2. life goes on
    emerging from
    the darkness
    overcoming
    the darkness

  6. "Given over to what is greater..."
    That is the thing.
    That is the
    upside
    of falling down
    til
    you can't fall
    any
    further.
