Beyond The Brink Poem by Diana van den Berg

Beyond The Brink

Rating: 5.0


Sometimes the pain screams red the raw
And tugs the push
Into the from and jagged corners.
The furling weir
drags on and trails
blazing backward flames of perihelion anguish
while all the time
hidden deep
and as useful as forgotten notes
lies …
the point?

(3 November 1999)

This powerful poem explores that point beyond which chaos reins and does it with great dramatic intensity and originality. You flash your discordant, painful images across the page and yet finish with a whisper and a question. Great write. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
