Reason

I start walking 
and shake off at the same time
shake off
painstakingly
each person
ties in eternal darkness
they prepare and self-cultivate
continuous scrutiny of life and death
candlestick lamp,In a cathedral space
light or extinguish fire,distorted
Sorrow echoes from 
a distant grave,smells of the end
The city hall that stopped balancing the books
it closed a long time ago
This morning's rainbow is caught 
In the city park
In the tree branches
it is complicated,it keep doing that
under the guise of an object
flying from 
person to person
It's boring to just wait for someone

I start walking 
and throw out at the same time
throw out
somebady is calling me
without hesitation,generously,incessantly
Crows have been singing 
for tens of thousands of years,did i notice it?
the sun slips down
the evening moon overlooks it
thick fog around
pass the dead walking with their heads forward  down 
I noticed,Up until now 
we've been walking backwards
I noticed that
we are not moving forward
So I can't see the future

Some superb lines here - "we are not moving forward so I can't see the future.". Well stated. Inertia grips so many folks (including me). Be well. All the best, Brian
