closer 
here I am at the turning 
all my own dark 
as in prayer
one wishes to leave
without the bitterness 
takes some bluster 
like the little blue pill imagined
past it's use-by 
the iron taste persisting 
see the dark come down 
spreads from the ceiling
how dark it is they go 
even if to light 
the loved 
closer 
closer 
till I am the edge 
the turn is at the line abandoned 
there's no one there
there never was 
there's no one 
ever there again 
 
Great poem, mate.
