My boots fall heavy on the floor,
Each step determined- no,
Aching.
The air turns off
The only sound now is my breath,
Rushing in and out in and out in out in –
The beat of my heart against my ribs
Takes the world out of focus –
I cannot let it escape
I am so lost in myself,
I almost tell them the truth – almost
But no no not now not ever ever evereverever
– I Am In the Town Where My Second Life Resides
