"In Vein"

Jason Cole Magnon


"In Vein”

Please bring a loaded side arm with you 
upon return. One, single hollow-shell bullet is all
I believe I should need to achieve in one
Hour what all Time has hitherto yet failed to…

With eternity so close in reach,
Abandon prudence… 
Don’t be squeamish.
It’s just that…

My loves, like shadows and silhouettes,
Are scattered in the violent light of afternoon.

Every day 
I am diffused, and
Back to whence I came,

I return, in vein.
