poised on the edge of a needle
I remember it is a point
and part of me asks another
is a point a kind of edge?
I tell myself I’ll ask Michael
He’s been having a difficult year
His nearest betrayed him and he might enjoy
the opportunity to be clear
In my world edges and points are similar
Because they can both break the skin…
***
below the waves there’s no one here
but afraid we’re still afraid
though joy breaks through like a needle
and clarity cuts
like a pin
