Out of touch
but not so much
that I don’t know
what’s going on.
and I’m being tracked
pony expressed
Apache trailed
( he trails off and remembers)
Embers in a dying fire
sinking as the flames rise higher
Yes
difficult to understand
but
that’s the hand that I’ve been dealt.
Undeniable but unrecognisably so
I know,
the question is
do you?
