Trading My Abyss for Yours
Juan Pablo Mobili
 
            Let me have your abyss.
            –Wislawa Szymborska
 
 
There’s something to be said 
for the abyss you cultivated your whole life, 
best to fall down something familiar
than jumping off someone else’s edge.
 
I want my moment in mid-air when the perfect last line 
comes, and splat! . . . before I can be published,
but I will not rule out a last minute resurrection, 
God choosing my poem for His anthology.
