Feet cracking, bruised concrete making skin peel Walking on the aching pads of reason Finding home Away from thought No mind, he would call it Acting without acting Till the murmur of my disillusionments fade To nothing
Quiet in the echoing void of my mind ******* away intended function Allowing bones to cave in on themselves and muscles to stove up Like dried dates in the summer heat
The night was long Stretching its fingers out, pulling the hands inplace So as an hour felt like an eternity Each breath even longer still I was exhausted Walking on fumes Blown over by a hard wind
But the end was in sight The welcome red, bolted 1823 Where you rested, with soft bed And warmth Waiting to sooth the burn of my body Final ease Embraced in comfort only you could bring.
