I’m sure I’ve forgotten
ten times more
than I’ve ever known
now just blackness
black on top
of my black shoes
below my black coat
nothing there anymore
reach for it, touch nothing
suppose it doesn’t matter
not worth holding on to
in the long run
so they say
travel light
be ready to go
at a moments notice
saddle up, move out
keep your inner voice down
don’t SHOUT!
leaving in the dark
in the quietest moments
