How tectonics shift
As continents drift apart,
Oceans open up.
Now you, undeterred
Ascend the promontory,
Cross the esplanade.
Poised with honours,
You sidle the cliff edge path
Predator to prey.
Await your moment.
Swoop, gliding on the uplift,
Behind you a trail.
My mirth, invested in you
This day escapes me.
A parting gift.
