I may be where there is nowhere to go.

The only thingnear is this foreign atmosphere.

Crawling upwards to the ruins of youth

I shed two salt-free tears.

Moving forward, backward, like rocking a child.

But the child is a song,

The skin worn and cold.

Am I to ride this train forever?

Must I follow the golden light?

Let me find my maker and set things right.

Haze above me and haze below.

I may be where there is nowhere to go.

~

Russian dolls cry out at dawn

For they, too, have been abandoned.

Leaning over the rail as far as I may go,

I see a reflection of the horizon.

No stopping now,  movement must continue.

The song will never end inside my head.

Crazed, I curl up in my bed and dream.

I let the haze carry me where it will.

No past, no future, the present ever-changing,

I seek what I cannot know.

Haze above me and haze below.

I may be where there is nowhere to go.
