I search the streets of the city
the eye of the storm
the stars in this starless sky
to find what the depths of my core
is searching for.
It’s an unattainable energy
floating through space
as I chase it through time
never able to quicken my pace
enough to reach it.
The fire in my chest is burning
a hole in my rib cage
as the hourglass empties
and fuels the flame
that will burn my soul
if I don’t hurry.
So I hurry.
I run blind.
Vulnerable.
Naked.
Alone
into the depths
of this unmarked
territory.
