Up the Gibson Steps she climbs,
between cliff and sky,
salt on the wind,
sand still clinging to her shoes.
Each stair lifts her from the roar
of waves gnawing ancient stone,
from the wide, empty beach
to the narrow line of land above.
The ocean keeps speaking below,
white breath against dark rock,
while sunlight sketches shadows
along the weathered rail.
Here, every step is borrowed time
from cliffs that slowly fall to sea;
a quiet ascent through wind and light
on the ragged edge of the world.
