Away

Goin away
stayin low off
shadows consume
so to me
I’ll vanish from my own
just to be elsewhere

Absent
my name has relocated itself
in the unreachable distance

Breathing nothing
reminds me of before
why I didn’t understand
nothing stood in good

Younger years
time took my time
all addictions
unkind or ignorance
chased my demons
I yielded to often
good time

Far-off over
bone on bone chimes plateaus
ringing disconnected
hope I don't answer
for poetry through the ceiling. ISBN: 1 4241 8840 7

"Hear me, my chiefs!
I am tired; my heart is
sick and sad. From where
the sun stands I will fight
no more forever."

Chief Joseph - Nez Perce
