to walk: v. to move by placing one foot firmly the ground before lifting the other

my plans are full
of verbs
empty like the vines
of a winter vineyard
that cannot remember
the fulfilling weight of fruit

my dreams are the wings
of icarus
falling apart
in the void
over deep waters

in the darkness
gnashing jaws
gnaw
like tityo's vultures
on my spirit

but i open my eyes
pray
and plant my feet
on the floor
