the "mourning" journey

the "mourning" journey 

the mourning journey has begun anew

there is a cool breeze blowing

the elements tighten the warm flesh

draining the eye’s reservoir of tears

clenching the exposed fingers

awakening the sleepy psyche along the way

occasionally halted by the street lights

the cool air enveloping the dampened shoes

the mind temporarily resetting

demanding the static moment to be addressed

the mouth’s cool mist marks the position

mysteriously embracing the adjacent stranger

no words are ever spoken

no smile exchanged

yet both embraced by each other’s exhalations

intimate members of life 

parting as complete unknowns


thank you
