Sojourn in Mantua

There is no world without Verona walls,
But purgatory, torture, hell itself.
Romeo, III.iii
for Godot
Here I am, alone, sitting on a beach
With a view of the sea spread out across
The sky, an infinite sadness and loss
In melancholic blues beyond my reach.
I am sinking further and further down
Into the depths of the void, the sad sea
Unforgiving and cruel as it takes me
Into the vortex; no wave as I drown.
Here I am, alone, waiting on a beach
For faceless time to cease the ageless gong,
For answers to questions beyond my reach.
I wait, and wait, but sad hours seem long.
And on the cliff edge, people come and go,
Watching the waves from the rocky plateau.
But purgatory, torture, hell itself.

For faceless time to cease the ageless gong,
For answers to questions beyond my reach.

Watching the waves from the rocky plateau.
