Ushuaia

We landed running at the end of the world

It was too cold to camp at the end of the world

so I stayed in a hostel at the end of the world

I met familiar faces at the end of the world

The sun set late and rose very early at the end of the world

I climbed a glacier at the end of the world 

and ate snow at the top of that glacier at the end of the world

I ate king crab and drank beer at the end of the world

Mountains towered over us at the end of the world

I met two Basque brothers at the end of the world

Who spoke strongly about their struggle for independence, at the end of the world

I found an apocalyptic safe haven at the end of the world

People live in the wilderness at the end of the world

(whatever that means) at the end of the world

Shipwrecks, stray dogs, and abandoned outposts at the end of the world

The water frothed under us,

Clouds moved in and out and passed over us,

Then I, too, passed over the end of the world.
