I race against my heart’s beat. There’s a wild call hanging in the still air, A call of longing slips, escapes from my throat. An answer to a thwarted hunt. The Dreamer a delusion. The Trickster a fool. The Philosopher a liar. The Musician a bane. And yet I hope – struggle. The hunt will be successful
Not sure that I should still call this poem whole. It's on it's third re-write and I like this one the best. Might actually come up with a full list of all my ex's to place in this poem. So I guess I'll have to see how it evolves over time.
