Almost On the Edge of the Map
Almost on the edge of the map
Standing on the sand holding her board
watching the wave and tide
she knew no matter how far out she went
she’d have to come back this way
here be dragons
here be dragons
the sun sitting on the horizon
gleaming shimmer like a vikings hoard
a golden koi swimming
tail flicking on its side
here be dragons
today’s promise almost spent and frayed
here be dragons
plunging out towards the heart at the end of the day
here be dragons
she knew
no matter how far out
she’d have to come back
this way
here be dragons
