Notes About The Poem
Edward Ibeh's Pick- A - Title, Vol 55... 13 Feb 26

Edge Of Night

This thinning pen lays 
on a shed of damp grasses
 where there are no flower
 to daringly explore--- 

A gasping star wanes 
into the ash of light; 
emptiness becomes
 its only environ neutral a the dunked rays 
greying the skyline. 

Dreary as a poet's last whimper, 
unfinished phrases gather to rest
and in the edge of night, the world
grows still as dying petals .
