Count Down


Count Down

Mortality

lurking
in shadows


deeply
repressed


buried beneath
daily life


til someone
we know goes
out 


someone our age
or younger

and the
specter of
death
emerges


to remind us
of our pending

mortality

  3. Sadly, yes, this is true, Steve. On the up side - we do have the opportunity to make the most of every single second we're given. :)

    of my grave
    I hear the howl
    of a long
    black night
