Setting Out

 Life is over, she said. Yes, I said, over there.

Over where? she said, lifitng her head.

If we head that way we'll see it.

Get your hair out of the way.

Look over there, the hair is in your eyes

move it with your hand

Then move your eyes up to the horizon

with your eyes on the horizon you see

the distance

Yes?

Over there?

It's over, but it's over there

See when it's over

It's just over there

There's a new life, do we see it together now?

Yes I see it. Do you see it?

I am quite intrigued

even through my tears I see

the horizon's distant drawn line where the shimmering sun is setting there

and we are setting out.
