Summary: Ghazal for Aywas Scavenger Hunt #144.

Here the world ends; no gentle curving slope into night.
Watch your feet at the edge. There are clear stars in the night.

Two and yet one. One and yet two. Kaz, Shoe, together.
For one endless moment their minds touch in the still night.

The rustle of leaves signal the arrival of prey.
Even bird calls are silent in the violent night.

When we sit together I look at your face and think.
How long will you stay here with me on this lonely night?

There is a cacophony of reve calls singing here.
I look up at the stars and dream of a quiet night.
