Gradual Blindness

N no I think its A.
Look at my ear;

look up, look down, look straight ahead.
The light a brilliant atomic white.


I hear you suck in air.

You...

Your strange telescope, sees the war directly.
The damage and destruction done,
on the surface of a dying planet.

Me...

I only notice a dimming of the light,
a gradual fading, lines refracted differently.
Sights lost soldier.in the quietest of wars.

To come...

Is to hear dispatches of the unseen battle.
slowly being fought,upon a distant fading star.

To go...

Is to be far from the conflict,
but also at its heart.
To journey across darker receding landscapes,
through the silent bombs of disease.
