I run headlong amongst the gorse,
along the cliffs; the sea below.
My worn brown brogues
trip over stones, my homespun skirt
fights cold, wet wind.
I call until my throat is hoarse,
but screams are carried far away.
At last I dare to look below
and see such terror within the surf.
A broken boat, a broken man -
lying crushed upon the rocks.
The future ends upon that sight
as gladly I fly down to him.
And into sweet oblivion.
