Yet I never expected
To take it so soon myself.

supermarket belt
straight,
quick,
final.

I think we all take the winding road
from our first step…
Some get to walk a little further,
but still only an instant
in the magnatude of time

alone you drag on
feet hurt eyes roam
how inquisitive the light
