To The Pity of Survival

CATEGORY

Magic dreams

that once fueled his very being,

had decayed into infectious nightmares—

Leaving him to loathe the coming of each dawn;

 

Jaundiced eyes

peered from skeletal sockets

reflecting fear of not the inevitable death,

but the agony of yet another day of survival;

 

The frail back

with its symbolic stoop,

seemed to have long prepared the body

for the daily scavenge of the garbage bend:

 

Pity, even a dying man must eat.
