Steve Klepetar

Will You?

If the wave gathering
strength over the western sea

churns, builds, rises
above coastal cities
like a giant hand,

if it roars us into deafness
or shines like a blinding wall,

will you stand with me
on the cliff’s bare face
to watch the old world drown?

Steve Klepetar has a heart too soon made glad, too easily impressed.
