WE GO AWAY QUICK

 

We go away quick.

The one laying next to you tonight

Gone tomorrow

Such an unending catastrophe

But you wake up

Denying reality for hours

But it catches up to you anyway

It is a body

You carry it around

It carries you on your observatory walks

Into the belly of the angry mob

Hungry, tired, circulating around

Until you lively up yourself

As the King used to sing

         Then you learn to dance

         You accept all, the nuance around you

         Take a clear view

         If not in a mirror, then where?

         Why not Christen the sailing ship?

         With the empty bottle of bubbly?

         Draw clear air into your lungs

         Think about that breath –

         Where it came from

         Where it went

         When you finally let it go.

And if you walk further

Into the desolate reaches

Where few venture

And fewer stay

Then find the key arbiter

The one who has seen all of life’s sights

And know that he is you

And there is nothing in between                                           201113.1
