The Edge

Here we are
again
in this relationship

This place of brokeness
The edge

It feels familiar
We’ve been here
too many times

And that is sad

It’s sad that
it feels familiar

This should not feel
familiar

To any one, this
should never
feel familiar

I’ve wrapped this edge
around us too close

Any sudden movement
any misstep

and you fall

off

I love language and spirituality. I also love education, technology and design. My favorite topics of conversation revolve around theology, poetry, linguistics, rhetoric, World Englishes, chinchillas, second language writing, how to kill a plant in 10 days, etc. I was a language teacher and now I build language learning products by day. I am an interpretive mind-dancer by night. I live in China.
