nothing left to leave

nothing takes

nothing is given

no outside

No distance that separates anything

nothing to leave

no place to leave it

nothing to walk away from

no course

no land

no weather

nothing to give anything to

no cover

nothing to hide behind

nothing left but this

rest and sleep aren’t markers

their meaning is assigned

preparation
for something larger

something that’s meant
to justify it

but nothing comes
to claim it

no moment
no arrival

it just continues

without recognition
without exchange

and you stay in it

because there’s nowhere
else to be
