My Horizon's Curve

Waves tap on the breakwater rocks,

this city, my life,
kept safe from the tide.

I know there lies a curve behind the horizon
that continues back to here.

It beckons me to peer over the edge,
to discover that other shore
and who i've become once i return.

I fear the tide.
The choppy discontinuities
from the plot I had written for my life.

Life is not a story, I suppose,
but a series of episodes
with plotholes a'plenty,
building a world that never quite gets finished.
New season airing Fall of 2018.
