A step closer

 

I suppose

no one knows

where to find you.

I suppose their calling off the search.

 

I dropped my torch and left them,

dropped it in the sand.

They’ve lost their recompense,

failed the orders of a man.

 

I suppose

no one knows

where you are now.

I suppose they only call your name.

 

I move on with night vision,

they move on in vain.

Each footstep into yours

a step closer I remain.

 

I suppose

no one knows

where to find us.

I suppose their calling off the search.
