Beloved (At The Edge Of The World)

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.

It´s funny how we think we are all on the cusp of something, and just have not been recognized yet. I am no different. I don´t really care all that much, but at the same time I do care. .. more..
