early exit
eventually the day comes
when everything you've ever done
has been admired and praised
and leaves you staring at a blank wall
wondering now what?
what have all those words brought you
but the need to outdo yourself?
where do you go when you stand
at the top of the ladder
and realize there is no roof
waiting to receive you?
a chill wind steals through your marrow
all your hot red blood congealing
as the cold of alone is pumped
on its appointed round by the stubborn
beating of your empty heart
you stand before the mirror
In the autumn of your life
and watch as leaves detach themselves
gently at first
then in a furious blizzard
until the only thing staring back
is the ivory skull of
death in life
winter is coming
after an autumn more bitter than sweet
no sun of indian summer has warmed you
and you lie
listless
unable to find the will to build a fire
all the treasure in your counting house
cannot buy you what you need
you have the love of strangers
but you and your shadow stand alone
the world falls at your feet
you climb over mute recumbent bodies
as you make your way to the door
