Fade To Gray (From Take The Long Way Home, Unsolicited Press) Poem by Martina Reisz Newberry

Fade To Gray (From Take The Long Way Home, Unsolicited Press)



I have become distance,
dimming on a regular basis

in the eyes of family and friends.
I walk long aimless walks

on sidewalks that have seen
much worse than my life has seen.

The other worlds, the ones that
house our doppelgangers,

open regularly (though to know
your own face is no great feat) .

The sidewalks spread and the
neighborhoods blur, fade, and pull

back into focus.
Everything for sale.
