AWAY

***

come, darling

and look with me

past the edge of the ravine

at the rockface,

harsh and punishing—

the rushing of the stream

now look away

and look around—

there’s so much else to see

—come, darling

won’t you take my hand

and walk away with me?

***

For anyone who’s looked down into that ravine—and anyone who’s tried to help that person away.

***
