Waiting at the edge of the world

I took a train

To the last stop on earth

The last city on Earth

Ushuaia, Argentina.

I stood on rock

and gazed out towards Antarctica

while penguins shuffled behind me.

The last words that came from my mouth

were your first and last name

I whispered them into the air

until their fog hardened onto the surrounding landscape.

The end of the world isn’t so bad when you’re part of it.
