There will be an end to it

There will be an end to it

Unexpectedly.

No clear lines are drawn

Even as they merge

On the horizon.

The weft of warm air

A ripple

In my heart

If I tear it apart

Will it let me enter?

A new world

Approaching

On the other side

My feet sinking

Up to my knees

Skin crawling.

The road is less firm

Than once it was

The sea is exploding

About my head

Nothing stays where it is

For very long

Without acquiring a name.

I am unknown

Just for the time it takes

To pull myself free

Of darkness.

There is always another

Door

Perhaps one will open.

It is kinder by far

To call an end to suffering

Once it has been recognised

But until then

I will pick a lock

Here

Climb through a window there.

Fast cars race by

There are no angels

Nothing remains

Of yesterday

But it has memory

Which continues to linger

Shadow finger.

There is happiness

It is golden

Pooling at my feet

Haloed

By starlight

Every time I say hello

I long to say goodbye.
