lost



this sound you make
like breaking glass
 
these walls you
pull tight around you
 
that turn to dust or
burst into flames and
the fact that who you are is me
 
midnight and sitting
in a room i don't recognize
 
driving in the emptiness
between two towns i don't know
 
in bed at some point and
my wife next to me crying
 
my hands finding each other
in the dim glow of the streetlights
and this idea of oceans
 
of escape or drowning
 
the money gone but the
age of salvation approaching
 
the possibility of hope
almost
worth considering
 
this
and nothing more
