Escape The Hordes – Written Sunday 28th May 2023 (Aged 48)

Escape The Hordes

what feasibly is there to do –
when you have just about –
escaped the hordes and made it up the hill?

do you look back –
and think,
is that the spoils of my war
in fact,
was is it a battle at all?
is it a workshop
one where technicians attempt to walk tall

i am nearly fifty years old
yet, if i do not sleep and breathe now
when will i breathe
i know that love has found a realism
and underneath, there is a realistic need

but i know,
i cannot carry it all
because i have no counter balance skills –
upon which i can call
