volatile

drawn in tight upon myself..

curvature at the spine

become permanent--

still holding this

unnatural pose.

 

lockstep pace

unhinged from form,

its rhythm still pulsing

behind my eyes, though

the vision it shows

is losing its shape.

 

I am drifting beyond me

and finding escape..

 

Unto an unknown place

I am incoming like a Dirigible

Airborne--my No-Smoking signs are lit

Thanks for commenting, Ray..I kept getting a picture of something being lobbed but realized that my trajectory really isn't quite that certain.

ps
maybe "fixed" is a better word than "certain"..

What a fantastic and marvellous concept at the closing of the poem, and for me the parallel contains a black humour, a sort of wry acceptance of the inevitable so eloquently expressed.
