The Closer I Look - Small Black

And if not here

Then where else

Might one live

Easy?

In tomorrow?

Underneath all the spikes

Left of memory’s sprawl?

The closer I look

Everyday at the doors!

But it felt weird

Just walking out

Not sure if

I came close

Minor deity

To you spoke:

«when first faced with it

Take the compliment

More directions

To follow»

Current sympathies

Have been of use to me

Got sad, did something

Of note

Helps to worry sometimes

The closer I look

Every day at the walls

Have they warned you?

Are they going to?

On a bus to Duluth

Heard about the scene there

The closer I look

The more it takes away

The closer I look

The further it feels/seems today/away

The more it feels/seems ok

Have they shown you

Streets off the main?

Me?

I Don’t know the way!

Lead me there!

Lead me to

Lead me to

Some practical use

Lead me to

Lead me to
