ETERNITY

ETERNITY WALKS THE CITY

We walked down lonely alleys

wearing nothing but emptiness

steps mimicking clocks clicking,

I wondered ‘is this a dream?’

in ancient days it would have been a ‘vision’

looking down at my dirty boots

covered in yesterday’s muddy tears

we kept walking, she feigned muteness

I respected her stern beauty

expecting some form of benediction

to pass from here to forever

or some other-worldly fog surrounding us

in voices booming- ‘come’

but nothing happened

she turned left

pushed me right

saying ‘keep going straight ahead.’
