No U Turn

just a tad
bit little
late but
still in
a way

migrating
my grating
worked on
work nerves
are severed

several even
oddly have died
being cut off 
and left
right

where they were
isolated thoughts
not supported by
trusses or beams
or rebar reinforce

ment meant to
sustain or at
least suspend
any attack upon
my heart

so though after
winter has set in
i'm flying out and
down south below
the equator

liquidating my assets 
melting in an un
dulating sun
and a face
that always

smiles
