Far Enough

We're such a nothing of a start.
We stall before we depart;
we never say anything anyway.

A simple plea
with great solimnity,
I lay down my sword.

Words shatter bones
with syntax and tones
and I now I'm beaten and scarred.

Your prepositions paralyze
and your commas tell lies:
you are a walking ellipsis.

But you're sung and not said,
hummed and not read,
and I tap my feet as you fade.

Defeated today,
I wander far away
like I'll find you if I walk far enough.

It's about having something, taking it for granted, fucking it up, and then missing it when it's gone.

The green earth on which ye tread,

Witness the solemnity."
