life
is
boring.

i
much
rather
close
my
eyes
and
think
of
other
things.

Tomorrow
I go deeper
than I've ever
gone before.

It's darker down there,
and colder still.

But the journey back
is like a rebirth
from the grave

- from dark to light

- from cold to warm

and the
sweet
sweet
moment of that
first real breath.

So I will go,
and I will come back,
once more.

Traveller

It is interesting here
where I find myself today
so quiet
no cars or barking dogs
no people yelling
or guns pop, pop, popping
no murder or pain
or jealousy or war
just cold, black sky
and ancient dust
blowing in gravitational
celestial ionic winds
streaks of color filling the night
filling my eyes
here
in this interesting place
not called earth.
