Minimal reconstruction
Spotlight on skin/burn /not sun.
‘Still’ they say /Turn a key.
Line after line / A spider web.
Frayed memory / A escape.
Dismissing the past.
Echo/breath out.

Beating on the glass
Flow / Mask unveiled / Mood / Fragile.

Run away with me
Run away with me across the borders
between the dusty hills
and the coppered light
of the old pier.
Run away with me
into the caves on the coastlines
and kiss the skies cool mouth
when the sunset finally goes down.
Run away with me

The End of Life
A cloud of thick fog surrounds me.
I cannot see beyond it.
I cannot move.
My eyes are open
but they see nothing.
I do nothing
yet I do everything.
My mind sees beyond
opening up the world
inside my head
riding eastward
in the breeze
to a new start.
I can see life.
I can see everything.
I understand now.
Now I can die.
(A slightly rewrote poem originally...
