Sane Departure

How age slips away 
from your hands ?
How deep you will 
go in the cavernous 
mind of time ?

Why brother,
why, the healing started 
to hurt you and you 
did not want to
stitch the name ?

No tattoo will tell your 
address. You want to 
go anonymously, leaving 
the moon behind 
the brown hills.

The shadows are-
lengthening. Time was up.
Lay down your arms 
and walk away with 
empty hands.
