To leave the edge
or go beneath it -
She stands
at the window,
gazing, gazing
at the sliver of
a new moon rising.
Her hand waves
back and forth,
following the motion
of the surf crashing
against rocks.
She wonders what
it would be like,
to stand there,
to become stone
and let the waves roar
against - into - her.
To become the edge
or to walk off it -
