Beloved (At The Edge Of The World)A Poem by Matthew Bass
We are the smell, the taste,
the silence something too real to touch something too weak to collapse. Our throne, at the edge of the world. A small journey over the rocks. Where we watch the buildings spill over the side of the cliff. Our world, is an Indian Summer full of labyrnths and vague riddles. Secrets painted on the walls with stories only we understand. Our house, inherited from a poet. The ruins of a bomb, from those terrible years. (1936-1939) Our heaven, this ancient town. Invented by us Invented for us.
