ordeal
sometime after this sunset we will no longer be passing this way, and slowly the grass will reclaim the footpaths we have left on the ground.
at sunrise, we will try to train our feet again, to step on and get used to new earth. perhaps that place would be very different from what we have here now. then again, perhaps not.
with dew underneath them, the crisp leaves of grass will resist, but they will eventually give way as the morning passes. with constant visits of our feet, we will tame the soil with our tracks and marks. we will call the place our own at mid-day, and it will be more than just a place we pass by. each patch of grass will cradle a memory. each boulder will hide secrets.
and then we have to leave again, and slowly this place will give itself up to no longer be ours...
i do not want time to stop anymore. rather, i want it to pass by in a blink of an eye. i want the transition to be abrupt. i want the day, this day to end quickly without the entire drama of a sunset. to move on in a click of a switch, light extinguished from a room.
because its hard to stand by and watch the enemy twilight tarry. i see demons in people's faces as they meld with the background.
