Distant Memory
I am dying.
Like Summer at the hands of
Autumn
My wrinkles are really
fissures
on a skin fast tracked to shed
I consider fighting and resistance
but my energy is spineless
and my instincts know better
So I surrender, like a white flag
and trust this deconstruction
is the one I have contemplated
suicide for
The one who journeys alongside me
like a distant memory.
