*****

Why the journey

to this extreme?

Where all achieved

illusions of self

are pounded down

in to the gravel

where the footsteps

are **** heavy.

 

Two young scoundrels

stopped and stared

as I walked

past them:

Intimidation tactics.

Who are these people

and what are they

prepared to do,

and for what?

 

All I know,

is that I am becoming

less and less;

this fear

that drives my creativity

is strangling me.

 

This is a plea

to an impossible god

as tears run down my face.

 

I am afraid.
