| Half an Hourglass I'm trying to think of a concrete image to describe how I feel but all I can see is a massive block of concrete plummeting from the sky and straight for my head and I look at the sky and I see nothing and I look at the trees and I see nothing and I look at you and I see nothing and I look into the mirror and I see that the eye of the hurricane I'm caught in is me and I look at my feet and I see nothing and I look at my hands and I see nothing and I look into my heart and see that the center of the whirlpool I'm drowning in is me and something's pushing me through the center of an hourglass and I don't know if when I get to the other side I'll be the way I was before or smaller than now or if the center will go on forever and eventually I'll look into the mirror and I'll see nothing Back to Index E-mail the Poet |
