So much blackness is So many chasms Gape at my feet I have lost count Cannot measure them This living blight is warm The scent of black In the night So near So much harm Is in my way - How do I step Over it Move on Leave you behind Willingly I have cast my fate In the deep And wait for the echo To reach me yet Your voice rebounds My head Images of you Redouble me Sad Make me lonely Madnext poem
