more of a prolapse than birth
southbound
we dealt in tusks

(the bad ones)
in flop houses turned taciturn
and that's where the story gets long

littered with eyes gone runyon
and other casual ways
to carve down a mountain

on game trails beguiled
through tenement jungles
we lumber

towards a graveyard we still can't discover

I absolutely love that final idea of moving towards a point that you know is real but are not really sure if you want it or not. Discovering something is always one of life's greatest adventures, but death seems to be the only thing we do no have a desire to explore. This is very very intelligent!
