since hours a stone in my shoe prevents me from getting forward
taking it out poses several threats
to put up with the pain seems fairly easier
flickering of the sun smears my vision
the journey is not over yet
blood is pulsing in my toes
every step is a beat to the system
recovery takes longer than the itch
mountains that do not exist have to be taken
reality is a question of who observes
not the one who thinks he judges
the stone works its way further down
holes in my shoe don't really add up to this
orientation of the body in space
directs the stream of my thoughts
meanwhile sun is burning so bright
that even the haggard tree promises relief
too thin to shield me
the island at its best
licking wounds with scissors
bandages are burning
the thought of relief threatens me
the possibility to start again anytime
is evidence that I'm alive
