Silence.
November 24, 2015
Tick.
A chorus of life, green.
Surrounding, avoiding the solitary
Never a moment, bustling we live.
Regretting, avoiding,
Tock.
Its winding down,
Casting the pink
Reflecting all gray,
a beautiful ending to ominous dismay.
Tick.
The rats commence their knawing
Spiders prickle my neck.
You call this peace? I am, a wreck.
Tock.
I fly my kite,
A haze ignites
I am alive again,
maybe I can outlast
the night.
