There Is This Void...





...not in the strictest sense, but


under the general category. It was 


always there....but, a void just the same.


You ask me do I get much sleep? I say ,
 "....of course not. Why? "
You tell me , "...you don't look...wan....ah..." you fumble for words. There are none.

Tired. comes to mind. Too late.

There is an awkward silence, here...one that's been here for a long time. The timing. It's just the timing of the thing...
We'll be alright.
But then comes the last goodbye.
As cold as could be
This party's over
And it will 
be a longtime
Coming...

...as befits,
the fool.
