Perimeter

I'm destined to walk the outcroppings,
The recessive threads of life,
Where the underbelly is cool.

Breaking the slit perimeter
I allow its throated winds where
I'm destined to walk the outcroppings.

I edge forward, infinite chaos,
Intertwined with
The recessive threads of life.

I balance in that moment,
That perimeter,
Where the underbelly is cool.
