Trials of a Trivial Traveler

I feel so alive in the dead

of the night. I’ve learned

how to navigate the darkness.

The moon and the stars

glow when my anxiety grows.

I feel a wave of happiness

rise and fall. As I walk

through this worn-down

town, I hear a faint scritter

in the distance letting me

know that I’m not alone.

What ever is making those

sounds can help me find

my way home. I am starting

to feel tired on this long walk.

I can’t help but think that

there  is a rivener wedging

itself between my reality

and dream. I must be a solivagant

desperado who can’t escape

his sorrow. I need to discover

something apotropaic before

night turns to day. I need a sign

that it’ll be fine. In the beginning,

I was full of hope and strength.

I realized the best ships can still

sink. Despite the harshness

of the night, I’ve never quit.

I won’t stop walking until

I reach my destination. I’ll

see the sun rise. Darkness

will turn to light. There’s no

doubt that I’ll prevail. I refuse

to become another tall tale.
