For a long time I craved
-----voice----
I went to edges dangerous
to hear the crashing of waves
liquid thunder against gray cliffs.
I stepped
feet bare
above the grass
green--too green--
too vibrantly alive
in this numb place.
Bending I looked down
on an instant drop
my body quivered
my skin pulled tight
my eyes grew wide.
For a long time I craved
this moment to come
---its here---
and now...
I wish I had never sought it out.
