Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

The Jagged Edge of Time

a red sunset lights the sky
as if over Dante's damned inferno
fierce fiery colours lashing out
across the horizon's jagged ridge

the fangs, they gnarl and menace
they growl at another day 
that sadly brings about 
more shame than good

but the determined live
to fight another day
