Precipice

About to go over

the waterfall

 

into no man's land

    not letting mother

    rescue, not making

          provision

    for my children

 

wounded

nursing the wound

 

into no man's land

    letting the father

    die, visiting

    my children

    to say

 

I am always with you

You can call on me

          and

You can do it yourself

 

taking with me

my own broken infant

into no man's land

    telling him

 

We are

    together now

inside my

    second life
