Drawn out in slow-motion,
Knowing you'll be gone
Before the pain.

Shredded skin,
Squeezing the
Precious fragile soul —
Lusting to feel it shatter.
One small incision —

All it takes
To bleed away
Your life.
Memorable

Learned solely
To pass a test —
Temporal necessities,
Not to be recalled again.

Barking.
Like the Autumn Sun,

Shoulders slump,
White knuckles ease,
And serenity becomes her.
A smile betrays
She knows —
No longer
Does she need
To give a fuck.
As we age,
#vsspoem prompt for October 19th, 2020: Shade
Appreciation shifts
From life's color
To its shading.
