Suicide via the Prolonging of Motion

No more room to go more

westward

standing frozen on the shore

of the ocean

shook still

after years of motion

Motion being

His only source of devotion

always fleeing

and this is how it ends.

The cumulative compilation terminated

in a spout of nothingness

which shouldn't have been that surprising

given that it wasn't much different

from the rest of his days.

For when you're in motion you're never really occupying

one space at one time.

You're only ensuring

that you don't have to be anywhere

anywhere but going.

Sewing

your fate

in traveling

you were.


I travel over yonder

you, not knowing where yonder is

and by the time you find out

my whereabouts 

I'll be elsewhere by then

by now

Yet in a place

am I a being to face

or am I  just a

figment of your

imagination

disappearing

away?

Unknown is this to me

for I cannot know

for I never hear

and only speak

and am only heard

when I am gone.

My movement echoes

and there I go.

I am a thing that is haunting

blowing past you at night

toppling trees

bringing the fearing to their knees

praying.

I am the storm

only fully understood once gone

while living near you only confusing.

As I zip by, make you wonder, insert an abrupt rest to your song.

Yes, yes, I am gone.

These words are the past's words

by my moving, the integrity of these words

do rescind.

I am the dreadful wind.

I am the dreadful wind.
