Terminal Mile

Fränz Müller

Picture within you an ocean of ice:

waves frozen in that final moment,

wrecks of the pitiful damned

crushed, splintered in its pale blue grip.

In that hellish wasteland

time is without meaning

inconsequential and without a voice.

However, it is that finality,

that cruel reality,

that I see within you

in your seething, silent look.

    I love the metaphor, the combination of time and an emotional stare on another's face. The incongruence is genius. A brilliant piece and a fave
