I Walk

Walking away shedding slow the generations the towns dissolve in my drumming footfall but I still carry it all the livelihoods, the expectations, the cities of never stopping thoughts so I just still walk dragging through stone piled alive with associations since all time trailing behind me back into the mist I walk until it's all fallen away Coming into a clearing there's a pause between the breaths I look up: Mist kissed face vast grass shuffling treeless place expanse encircling the sky on my lips fog pulled in slow until I too dissipate find me blinking at dawn"
