for whatever is left.

Put on your shoes
and get used
to walking.

You may not recognize
this place
now,

but I tell you,
we have been here
before.

The first mistake
was believing
you were
separate from
what is swallowing you;

that is where
it all began to go wrong …

What begins in blood
ends in blood.

Nobody
has clean hands;

Nobody
gets home
Free

this time.

and

when there is nowhere
left for you to go,

you will still
be walking.

although your load
will be lighter

once the water
is gone.
