I dream every night
a recurring theme of search
I run wildly across graveyards
call out constantly for no one
sit waiting by the tracks
long after trains have gone
chase after silhouettes
always within arm’s reach
never within arm’s grasp
ransack rooms
tumble clink pop
finding everything
finding nothing
a passenger on
parapets and planks
carried to every destination
but the one
awaiting my arrival
I know not
why where when what
remain questions many
answers many more
As I know not
my purpose post -pursuit
I want the search to go on

Search to go on. But it is still a dream. So we need to dream on right?
