THE HAMMER'S EDGE


 


The hammer’s edge



on the edge of the wind
like the edge of a storm
 like a flood
 like a wave
 
that unseen rolling border
a gate from nothing
the door behind reality
about to slap invisibly

it doesn’t go by
doesn't go around
doesn't go through
you’re in its way
you’ll never see it coming

hammers have no sharp edges
that portico unfenced
over up on and away
the caster as mystery
so well timed

to a tune unique
and you never heard it
until it’s gone
to be a leaf
to be a bird
to sail
to ride
to be never slapped
invisibly
