Peeled Bark and Motor Oil

The rope is tethered but thread bare
    holding on to something while
        becoming nothing
      a sound is born
          in the mind
                                but…
   let’s not hear that for now,
 let it hide as it is wont to do.
                    listen…

You can hear the horizon thinning in the light.
