angst cycle (iii) — [Nj] (ii)

you know
it’s a tired night
kicking the stones
walking the pavements
talking to
well
talking to
myself
thinking alone

the pavement’s long
and lonely
wondering which way
to get my head
sorted out

confused by circumstance
is it just misunderstanding
but
well
if it is
i thought we’d cleared
those blocks
years ago

walking
kicking the stones
against the
against the
wind
kicking the stones
against

walking
look
all i need do
is raise the matter
insist
talk it through
or try

it has to be resolved

kicking
kicking
kicking against
the wind
kicking

time to turn
go back
turn round
go back
time to turn

kicking
against the wind

kicking

it has to be resolved
