I am almost out of time The more I struggle The tighter the grip On my tired mind How can one small heart Be so full Of dust and air And the resonant remnant of Life The scarred mark of each Insensitivity Set to splinter So deep I cannot dig it out There are no words Just this circular path I’ve worn An un-removable groove Furrowed lineage of Rebels and tyrants and the unwashed Yapping jackals Finally silent I’ve run out of words Saying everything To say nothing at all TL Boehm 04/06/13
