The dry riverbed held no mercy,
From whence a flood of devastation poured
Now a thirst of revelation lies, barren and hot.
As I walked, the river forked
A mass of brass and clockwork lie there staring upward, an eyelike violet gem blinking in the moonlight.
I asked him if he were a messenger sent to put me on the path
"I am a messenger no more."
"Can you show me the way?"
" I can't, and if I could, I wouldn't. I would not inflict this on anyone.
" Inflict what?"
" The Longing."
Its head tilted back and it answered me no longer.
I walked further down the bed and when I looked back it was gone.
In that moment, I felt it.. the longing. I looked up as it had, The spine stretched out in front of me.. and I felt it
.
The longing.
