In the wake of ephemeral affections..


from the ABC set Poetry

I knew a girl once who sailed to the edge of the world.

At least, I assume she did,

because I haven’t seen her for some time

and she never replied to the messages I left her.

There’s poor reception at the edge of the world.

lovely! I'd almost want to meet this narrator and his naive outlook on relationships :)
