The last town

How far is it now
Back to the last town?
Back via smouldering horizons
And black-ash roads?

How far is it now
Before the sun falls?
Before our footprints narrow
On formless desolations,
The lines no longer lines
The ground no longer ground
Laid out for them?

When will we turn
Our tired bodies
From all this damage?
Lapsing finally into an
Endless blissful walking sleep
Back to the welcome siege
Back to our first memories
Of the last town?
