Night calls me to bed
The promise of snow lingers
Most unwelcome guest
11:59 pm
Opening eyes to
Another morning unchanged
Sunlight falls tepid
The quieter I become
The further I withdraw
Fading from my own view
…
…I could have gone so much further
Could have taught myself so many things
When the world opened to me
When I could finally reach the lessons
…
Poems elusive,
poems that will never be:
tonight I mourn them
(On expression never served.)
Simmering envy
Seeing others bravery
Fearfully, I live
Lay down your head
On foreign pillows
You spirited traveller, you!
I was not prepared for this
Stage of life I find myself in
Things were improving with years
Until they weren’t
And my shadow form has started punching down
In ways I could never see coming
After shoving me into the ring
The longer I seal my lips
The more sour it becomes
This metallic silence
…
Chasing more sunsets
forward, forward, ever on:
both the world and he
