vanishing point

i will not walk on upturned nails
no longer will i
bow my head and pretend
that the lying unstable bridge
leads to somewhere
that the crutches in the framework
prop unseen
i
will not hide from breaking
ladders, the lattice almost collapsing, so that
an idea might be avoided
my shadows have proven the long
distance and sadness worth surviving
the vanishing.
