take me home!
 

 

ne plus ultra

sunblazing 
a pariah driven to the outskirts  
forced into the fires of lust, the fires of hate and the fires of delusion 
I concentrate on the stillness 
the minds well of stillness 
the fire blazes circumnambolating as I wearily force the steps 
carving eternity 
 
The steepness, the vertigo 
earthtilt, seesaw vision 
playground swings to zenith 
horizon lowers 
planetfall 
 
oh god, please don't let me die 
cottonmouth, lung bellows,  
fingers clench earth 
igneous granite plunged to substratum 
keening wail 
in the silence there is no silence 
 
Where am I? 
Why am I doing this? 
This body forced to walk the edge 
i am alone 
my brother ahead 
waiting 
I can't reach him 
the vision of him relaxed in situ 
my goal to rest 
 
enlightenment  
to be full of light 
let go of my life 
let me go 
hold me 
don't let go 
I'm dying 
if I speak, can you hear me? 
touch me so I know you're real
