Escarpment (Day 1182)

Memories around her shoulders   warm as the night 
they said goodbye   ocean a distant silver glimmer 
in the rear view mirror   future an impassable 
escarpment   stretching as far as the eye could see

she trembled at its base   unable to move forward 
or around   unwilling to go back   huddled in moments
warm and soft as the night they met   moonlit ocean 
a silver expanse at their feet   future a rolling landscape

lush and green   holding all promises   she trembled 
in his arms   unable to move forward or around   unwilling 
to go back   huddled in flickering blue moments   hard 
and cold as the escarpment devouring a sinking sun
