from the shallow
to the deep
meeting the equator
all parallels in line
finally in tune in harmony
watching the ever-approaching bottom
arrive
no longer a sunrise
or a warm hand to hold me
this dirty hand slips
back into the earth
marked in granite
and the soft feel
of ash
never did i live so much
to extricate this pain
or feel the silent welling
of a voice no longer heard
eternity too short
and unforgiving
for me
this one last step
forever damning me
to remember to forget
the time i gave my soul
in the hope of a glimpse of me
in laughter
no more
