STONE’S THROW AWAY

STONE’S THROW AWAY

I think there is a moment
of pure clarity
but then it goes
then everything goes

never having experienced
any such clarity, indeed
anything pure

I am at a loss
to extend you an image
provide a metaphor

but
time draining away
like someone of something
nicked
its artery

that moment of clarity
of deep and complete
change in perception
must be near

if not at hand
but a stone’s throw away
