Nowhere at all

Tonight I write
there is no ending
nowhere
the starting

It is all just somehow
and I am

Nowhere to run to
nowhere to escape from
or within

Will they keep a place for light
for my blind eyes to see
all of it is so empty

The keeper of sun
never graces me with open sky
or color filled anything
with no beginnings

If they remember me
why the anguish
when knocking on doors

It is in the distance
where I barely hear the war drums
or is that my fading chest

Not anything at all
rips me apart
with razor wire and mine fields
that are roses not anymore
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
