the other side of the moon

his world

tightens, grows smaller by

the day.

the squeeze

is on.

no longer at the wheel,

no longer

taking a stroll

around the park.

travel is over, gone.

it's from

the bed

to bath,

to the kitchen, to the

chair

in the living room.

the bench outside

is now a voyage

to the other side

of the moon.
