Ledges Quotes

“Ledge (ars poetica) (love poem) (true story)

When I say ledge you immediately think of falling but it’s the opposite a ledge is a thing we build into the emptiness so we have a place to stand. Of course it’s dangerous risk of death and all that what do you think being alive involves. When I say step out onto this ledge with me does it sound like I’m talking about love or do you immediately go to the implied leap after. Wait until you find out a bridge is where two ledges meet halfway. Why are you always on about the abyss. No a river isn’t any better have you ever landed on water the wrong way. You do have to watch your step it’s true. There’s room for us here for now and now is enough let us fit our bodies together let us balance our weight against each other let us hold on even as the wind rises.”
