Take another pass
Find no (new) hopes to smash
There is nothing left on these shores of mine

All that remains to do - is to laugh

Take me to edge of the world,
and there we’ll sit…
Where the earth had fallen away.
So our feet could dangle
in the splendour of the starlit abyss
- albeit moonless twilight.

We’d have shared no words.
Yet we’d have lived, loved
and spoken for a lifetime.
details
and wonder if there is any hope

will they miss me there or
merely carry on regardless
fear of falling,
breaking,
and losing
the soft words
of my life
You begin to wonder who you're talking to when the ghosts wander through you and it feels like it's you that doesn't exist,
their echoes persist in reminding me of words that I may have missed.

Reading Troilus and Criseyde but only because I need a distraction,

Chaucer 1 .... Shakespeare 0
the match goes on.

still and quiet nights
words come in stifling cascades
