[DARISC]

looking up
at the jagged line
at the bottom
of the sky,
he climbed to see
but not to die

and saw another
jagged line
at the bottom
of the sky
and somehow pined
but not to die

He stood then
on that jagged line
between the two
just the abyss
he pined for bliss
but not to die

he breathed the air
as shivers ran
down his spine
mournfully yearning
on that jagged line
but not to die

he turned his back
on the jagged line
and the abyss
that tempted him
to know the unknown
but not to die
