South

All your sins will be forgotten.

Not forgiven, forgotten.

  No matter who you are, no matter what you did.

No matter the people you killed.

You will be forgotten.

Eventually, even your ghost will die.

Eventually, all things will return to dust.

The dust from where they grew.

Rain drops of the dirty glass of the car window.

showing an infinity of upside down worlds.

As we drive South.

There comes a point where you can go no further south.

When you get to that point, no matter which direction you run in.

You will always be running North.

The sound of the storm shakes the streets.

The blank faces, splattered with obsidian drops of liquid night.

Umbrellas lost and won, in the battle with the wind.

Litter spins down, through oceans, into the dark maw of the drain.

Every detail of the infinite city, rendered in the imposable light of clouds.

The asphalt glitters, roads running into the depths of your brain.

Pouring waterfalls bleed the colors of your thoughts.

Cars and bright street lights begin to fade.

Leaving only the wailing of the wind.

And the Black road beneath your feet.

As you walk South.

There comes a point where you can go no further south.

When you get to that point, no matter which direction you run in.

You will always be running North.

Country side stretches out before you.

The never-ending fields below.

The never-ending clouds above.

Split only by lonely green clad skeletons of rattled trees.

And the harsh ruler of the road.

Your suit is ruined.

Being alone isn't that hard.

You decide, as you walk alone.

Occasionally, a town comes and goes.

You ignore them.

As You Walk South.

There comes a point where you can go no further south.

When you get to that point, no matter which direction you run in.

You will always be running North.

And then you reach the end.

The end of your journey.

Everything you are is slowly washed away.

By the rain.

Everything that mattered then.

No longer matters.

All your sins washed away.

Forgotten.

You walk no longer.

For you are home.

You are south.
