::By Post:: (10 august 2010)

(front)

a long, flat beach at twilight when the sky glows a gentle blue and pink, as though it were illuminated softly from within, like a nightlight to the water and sand below.

(back)

here, on the edge
that is not an edge,
in the middle,
that is not truly a middle;
here on an island thirty
miles out to sea,
under the stars,
in the arms of the milky way
and the ocean waves:
here, this is where
i am.
i am, and i wish
you were
here.
