Long Long Time

Dry dust

Bare feet

My scarf trails in the dirt behind me…



Held

just barely

between the tips of two fingers…..


I can't let go of it.


Dirty
Dusty
Dry

I still

can't

quite ....


No.

I'll drag it with me
till it becomes the dust
from which it was made.....





The dirt cloud billows up behind me

An
Uncaring breeze
Reminds me of the Wind I love

Vaguely…


Mirage
heat waves ripple
my vision sways
my step falters

where am i?
where am i?
North is
gone...



Sun beats on my shoulders
My arms
My face

It feels…endless
It feels like…

Forever

will be a

very

long

time



Drag
Dust
Drag


I feel my heart flutter in my chest
A meager effort

Reminder that what I can't feel
is still there

Pulse.
Go on.
Pulse, damn it.
Do your job,
Uninspired though it might be...


I look off to the Horizon

Nothing

Between Here
And There
nothing


Not
a
damned
thing



Keep
walking


Keep
breathing


Heart keep beating

one one

       one two

              one three

                      one four

                             one five
