Lonely at the Top

One-Man Parade



I.

The ticker tape

Static,

Not quite rain,

Nebulosa

Escondida

A cloud of moths

Dry winged dust

Pixie dust

Only static

Static

Static

Static

.



II.



A throng of silence
Thrusts through the air;

Breathing molasses,

Barely living at all,

The heart is a burden

Beating, breathing,

Beckoning reason,

Reason to be;

Reason to remain;

Reason to keep walking

Away, away

Keep walking on

Away

Away from the shadow

Away from a shadow,

Never ceases to follow.
