Unheard Echo & Oblique Re-Entry

How to be free from
Contingency
When distant edge
Is all I see?

How to catch up to
Family
Who rush into
Complacency?

How to be seen, to
Simply be?
This ghost existence
Murders me.

Please notice me.

We are all in free fall,
Moon cut to a sky smile,
Supine on unsupportive air,
Sprawled helpless in darkness
As we cry our meaningless names,
As we bleat our terror at being so alone.
