Parting Shot.

I'm off to go camping for the weekend (huzzah for spontaneity!!) So I leave you with this:

Exposed beyond the shadows
Naked to discovery
turning, looking
Nothing for covering

Running, stumbling
Falling, scraping
Rising, running
Breathless

Ahead a shelter
of sorts
ruins of majesty
disgraced
by forgetfulness

Is it here?
There is nothing.
Yet
there is
something

Heavy and grey
Familiar
forms etched into the lid
slid
to one side

Home.
