morbid roads

By vox et praeterea nihil

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

we catch our hero halfway down, where love lies to him, where peacable reentry is denied.  we hold our breaths as he holds her hand, trying to decide, sort of coasting side by side. this walk grows longer and (with) every moment (this chalk) outline deepens his tomb.  will our hero learn the real secrets of the darkest cave?  will we ever see the friendly eyes of naivete and amiable disbelief again? is this our hero's end, so soon? find out next time, as we continue our walk down our hero's heavily-trodden bout with the devils.  even he may not know how deep he's gonna have to go (and) for what.
