the never enough of
everything you asked for
and now you walk bare shouldered
down a road that has no secret
no curve or twist to make you wander
as you form new blisters and
sweat gallons of yester
days
into this insatiable sand
the signs all say keep walking
and so you stop
drink air from empty pockets
wishing you’d remembered
the only book you’ve never read
and
the sun never was your friend
even though you held its warmth
on ten thousand days of skin
and horizon is the same
as ever after
your bones always knew
the way to cave and
dancing flame
but you passed by
the mouth of silence
screaming

I can’t express how much I adore walking with you down the road of your imagery.

very nice. love the phrasing…the 10,00 days of skin…the signs all say keep walking
and so you stop..ha, the bit of rebellion in that…so vivid a peace too…smiles…scream on
