Footsteps

I look down

feet, slow, falter, then fast

start: view of concrete, pavement, grey

streetlight reflection

brief reflection of my, in movement, in stillframe

cut to earth, barefoot, scorched, tired

pan out,

sand, beach perhaps

at sunrise

we stayed up just for this

panoramic photo, took twice just in case

footsteps

holding on to each other

sun rises, time to go

time to move on, age

I tried zooming out to space, so far out in the universe

that I could see us, a moment or two in time

Grey sky behind me but smiling

How did I end up so far away

Two gems linked together in an embrace

just a sketch

just an idealistic view of future

romance gone wrong

Then zoom back in and

where are you

where am I

I’m looking down at footsteps now but they

are

so

heavy

drawnout

lethargic

walking away from sunrise+sunset like

Is this it?

Is this

all

there

is
