Study in Sepia


Artwork: Sans (Female) - Eric Fortune, 2009

i sit,
i wait,
i am coming so
close
to falling
apart.

the landscape
is bleak
is grim
is grey - is...
is neither
here
nor
there
is nowhere

not quite
like the
twilight,

not quite
like the
dusk,

not as
sinister
as the
deep, deep
darkness
of
midnight.

but there
is no
sun,
neither
starlight nor
moon.

i rise
i walk
i trudge
wearily
in the
shadows,
barely more
than a
shadow
myself.

is this
all i
am now?

is this
the grand
wreck,
the
remnant?

i see
no hope,
no reason
for
release,
for
ease...

is it just
me ~

or have i ~
am i ~
dead to
the world?
