This break-neck
Is craziness
At night
Events
Flash back and twist
A digest of endless
Old babble
Encounters
Climbing up the long slope
Onto the Beacons
I fall forwards
Into silence
My own voice
~ ~ ~
It's Winter
and some event
perhaps just thinking about an old daytrip
and remembering the snow
triggers a reflex
inside the back of your neck
you link up
all the good
over the years
that has now gone
and in a finger snap
the elastic in your tummy breaks
and you're on your knees
weeping in utter loneliness
get a grip
