Sunrise in the mountains

I want to stand on the edge of the world with you
as sunlight sparks the night–

I want to be on the edge of the world with you
sun singeing the horizon–

I want to feel on the edge of the world with you
somewhere inside the light–

kissing shadows, ravens’ wings
running valleys, chasing heights
igniting webs, burning coals
fire stoking spangled flight

I want to breathe on the edge of the world with you
and let it burn us too.
