On the Edge

Susan Shea

I haven’t told you:

I fade out, go

to my sand stone castle

spread out

on a rock-hard cliff

when I need to overlook

tasks and seas and crests

that repeat themselves

BLANK

I am hungry

for sudden synchronicities

to appear in wide sky view

BLANK

I am wordless

I must have room to

believe an angel can

meet me eye to eye

unknown to unknown

ready me to return unstuck

to the lipstick 

in my vanity closet

BLANK

a rouge a route to bring me

back to a full color wheel
