at the end of a day’s field

 at the end of a day’s field 


it is so lonely

at the end of a line

at the end of a stanza

at the end of a day’s field

the dust settling on an idea

that has had its day

tried its best 

but failed to leave a mark

it is so lonely

sitting there scribed

pencilled in 4B

smudged like a cInder’s tear 

forlorn is the thought

is the word that describes a thought

that has come to naught 

at the middle of a page 

at the end of a line

at the end of a stanza

at the end of a day’s field

that in reiteration says

nothing more than nothing was

at the end of a line

at the end of a stanza

at the end of a day’s field

repeating the fog horn forlorn

upon the high tide’s making

smashed and drifted spume

dried upon a parchment’s nothing

not even a breath stirs 

a mind numb 

a forlorn forlorn

an end ended

a beginning never started

a hiatus trussed in time

stopped


stop now! now!


at the end of a line

at the end of a stanza

at the end of a day’s soliloquy
