Go now

With the warm sweat pooled

In my dusty black boots,

I sit. And wonder, or write

Up a storm of words to

Hold the darkness at bay.

A thicket of concepts and

Ideas and fine motives

Delicately weighed one against

Another, an edifice that seeks

To dazzle and confuse.

Yet beneath this walking,

This sitting, this writing, this

All, is nothing is nix

As the ant nips remind me

Let it go and begone.

It won't ponder away,

Ahead of time, nor

Vacate 'til it's run the full course

Seared its trail

'Cross you heart.

So go now, go true, go fast

And go strong, but go now

Go now you must.
