away in the face of / by Jonathan Dick


a man once whispered, to me 
in a dream i did not understand, because 
i am not a dream, nor am i 
a whisper, frightened me 
in the same, life sees the man 
down the road, to die 
to go away from our lives, to die 
in between the streets, amongst 
the world we catch our voids, and play 
ball with the depths of a shout.
