The Curve of the Edge of the World

Always sitting, always looking.

The wind is bidding!

The mountains are crooking,

A bidding finger.


Packing suitcases, plotting on maps,

Exciting new places,

Life in a lapse,

As you head to the edge of the world.


Horizon's curve, gently round

Smooth earth's swerve,

With a sky for a crown.

The curve of the edge of the world.


-J.A.
