Closure

You saw in my head a crevice Gushing Oozing Sluicing all You scanned my closing eyes Entertained by shows of ancient memories – Dust-ridden, some forbidden You heard a thudding Arrhythmic chest But weakening Waning – Ribs worn, giving, To then resign You caught an evanescing soul – Life-anaemic – Blue-tinge upon a fringe – Vignette for ebbing life. Vitality leaks – leaks vitality Lungs breathing – breathing lungs Collapsing Folding – City-blackened bellows You watched me Kissing out byes Kissing on death; Wishing in cries; Wishing not Seth To pass on travels upward – But gentler gods – Show me worthy You witnessed a passing You stared at closure Blessed it.
