I need to unmap into obsolescence

the darkly remembered disrupting

territories of my lifes lingering side effects

and sit with my back to the past once and for all

 

although

at times I addictively repeat my yearnings

to revisit certain areas of its innocent comfortings

 

which unfortunately

only helps to crowd and consequently

obstruct the clear way needed for the journey

into the immeasurable continents of the future

 

nevertheless

I cannot go on to-ing and fro-ing

between what lies behind and what lies ahead

and having to work out how to keep them apart

 

sadly

that solution is however

always destined to be in a somewhere else country

of my mind
