From Nowhere to NowhereA Poem by Jules K.If your best friend has ever been separated from you on neutral terms.
How long have I known you?
Regardless, here we are In your childhood room Breaking each other's hearts. You look at me forlornly As I stare back, resigned. We thought we were born to be Sisters for life. I trace the road map In your iris. I can see the mountain line: Edge of Pupil's Crest. You decipher my atlas. My own hills and valleys Made of brown and blackness. You can't make out the trees. Both landscapes are bleak, Lacking details our hearts share. I know they both lead From nowhere to nowhere. I see your geography flatten And I know you've surrendered. This was expected to happen, Our lives simply had a fender bender. It felt deep and genuine, But the road is too narrow. Our cars: located in our craniums Bumped and swerved on the road.
