The door opens up to show
a beautiful landscape, bright and temperate
framed in a painting on a dull grey wall
crooked in a freezing room
but each step takes days and miles
wracked and hungry, fucked and tired
and on a closer look the frame is cracked and warped
and image of illusion ready to fall
Nothing is simple, nothing is easy
Even in a search for nothing
You’ll reach to find that there’s always something
Out the corner of your eye
you see a tiny little dot
pulls your focus, kills your instincts, a living buzzing hive
still each step takes days and miles
wearing downward, an aching fracture
until you finally arrive
to the edge of a precipice
crumbling, plunging, broken, ready to fall
