clarity
of sky, of eye,
of mind
of intention

I miss it

some, undoubtedly, lost to fatigue
and worn out mechanism

though, that is not as concerning as
the speed of encroaching grayness
the smog of gauze eyed culture
destined for devolution, decadence,
and destruction

how does one play it now
no benchmarks, no milestones,
no guideposts beckoning in the
dwindling light

dead reckoning
by the gut!?
hopefully, it knows the way
by other means
