So small

Sometimes I am small

The stars are above

My eyes shut tight

So tiny

And the weight, the heaviness of the world is above me

Around me

I can feel small

Painting on board from last year

the edge

old windowsill

head up and balance

balancing on the edge

the man on the ledge poised

head turning , maybe looking down but then ahead again, perhaps he’ll pull back now

he was just admiring the view

we were all on an edge
