Fantasies And Myths

Bleeding the planet 
between life and death. 
O invisible, in time and pain 
I want you. 

Telomere― the capping 
has failed. My genes are shrinking.. 
The acid burnt face still 
smiles behind the fingernails. 

The spurious drugs will 
not allow you to pass away. Lip service 
was too fallacious. You never 
knew how difficult it was to die. 

The night dissents. Day has 
many upheavals. You stand alone 
in tall grass to count the flames 
engulfing the sunset.
