[correctiveshoes621]

I awaken
to an empty space,
and the night is so dark.

Some endless landscape stretches out -
pulling ragtag, baffled me from this echoing fort,
towards its moonless fields..

Fallen silent,
no longer breathing its false rhythmic comfort -
it lies still and cold;
this ironic land,
to which there are no rights,
nor borders of logic.

And I know where you are, tonight.
