What You Dare Not Think
Oct 31, 2020
What You Dare Not Think
What you think
Or dare not think
Are frequent guests
That take turns
Walking beside you
During your solitary
Vision of the world.
It is the gloaming
Of the day you dread
As you and your shadow
Move away from
The horizon before you
And turn towards
The horizon behind —
Each movement,
Every breath
A consequence
As air gathers you
And grapples
To spin your focus
As you stand
On the apex of the earth,
Choosing a focal point
That vanishes each time
Your eyes meet anyone
Whose time is measured
In curves that follow
The waves of the sea.
