"And So It Goes"

The threshold of

the universe

portrays a backdrop

like no other

seen by

the naked

eye of the man

sitting on his porch

underneath the heavy

stars, thoughts

swirling as the deafening

silence only brought

the tremors back

the memories back

the touch of the girl

he let go

on an even colored by

the smell of booze

resting atop his upper lip,

the empty universe 

his golden glory

was something no more

no more than he was

a broken man.

The threshold of the universe

portrays a backdrop

like no other

seen by

the naked eye

of a man.

For the back drop

of a glistening night sky,

bore the 

dead man until,

he could only but 

whisper 

“and so it goes.”

Great read! I liked how you repeated the beginning. The flow on this piece is excellent. I could visualize this man and the nostalgic scene easily.
