Horizon

by John Drudge / April 28th, 2024

Things come
Out of nowhere
You need to be ready for them
Everything spins
And turns on dimes
Big pictures
Are never in focus
Without distance
Galleries
And entrance halls
Mirrors and illusions
Hide what lurks
Behind the curtains
Spies and raptured lies
Eyes everywhere
But on the horizon
