Lost
Fundamental fissures open
endlessly
spilling rain deeply
where the heat is.
A blank white room
with a steady drip for
a clock
is the one to avoid when the diversions
are used up.
Busy lives, busy lies
weave a door that seals
illusions to my soul.
The backward glance
as from a precipice
over a void. entices not to fall
but to float.
Does missing my father
cause the loneliness
or point out the
singular journey.
