SELF
So I said
to myself
Self
Where is
this leading
this living
this being
where is
this leading I asked in a moment
of weakness
in a moment
of pure futility
maybe the
only pure thing I've
ever
known
as pure
and as cold as the
mountain
stream this futility
and I have
made me a home in it
a warm
home with a
fire
where I
can burn my moments
and watch
the smoke rise up from them
to heaven.
