Cliffs

Words are afraid up here.
The rapture and the terrifying exposure.
Strange birds roosting, a human voice shouting a world’s-end
     shout.
Snow hurries to the meeting, wanting to cover the waking in my
     body.
I could fill up the sea with this waking.
The outlook is thrilling; it satisfies.
It goes even further than the view from the heights of love.
It eats the roof off the sky.
This poem appeared in The Wilderness by Sandra Lim, published by W. W. Norton & Company, 2014.
