Fully

How, can I make you understand
that inside me
and in my gaze

Is everything that we cannot see
and everything
that pulls

Us closer to the end of this life.

~

I am an older man
Inside

Than perhaps my circumstances desire of me

~

The hustle, bustle and sheen
are seen through for me

already

And my dilemma is in knowing whether it is my
duty
to engage
Fully
with this world around me
