days unspun. to woven lives. blood like yarn knitting quilts of sorrow. under
which to lie. shivering and wondering how the cold still finds its way in.
truth bereft of anything. with inkless fingers it presses upon empty sheets.
eager to porve those landmarks real. still this map shows nothing.
no rivers flow with anguished currents pushing against our boats. no waves
defy the footprints we left there as we departed for. tomorrows unknown. futures
not marked.
no raindrops listen as we sit huddled in our soft tents. eyes open. mouths
closed. speaking only in what we think we saw when.
only the darkness grows fatter still. smothering the paths we were so sure
we knew. only the darkness gorges on the remains of our lives as they wither
stranded at the depths of nowhere.
i couldn't live. so i chose instead to die this way. pretending it was all
with a purpose other than to see it end.
