Word: Age
And here, finally,
The end of a long,
Unexpected road.
Go no further.
I stop,
I die.
He dropped his head,
Legs out straight,
As if stretched,
On a porch on a hot day.
Hushed into stunned silence,
Twice the frenzy.
“Up! Get up!
You can’t lie down!”
Watch me...
He looked sideways,
At the end of his world.
Something…
Anything…
A single arc bulb overhead,
Blue, cold, and blinding.
He then closed his eyes,
Light place.
The sun on a cobalt sky,
Rolling green hills.
Another time,
Another world long ago.
