Poem Artwork

No one is immune from the moment


A time of clarity


Mortality


Non existence as we know it


 


No one is free of the haunting


Certain, inevitability


Death


And what might lie beyond it


 


Sometime after forty it happens


Maybe at 3 a.m.


Over cocktails


During rush hour perhaps


 


Riveted before the mind


Oblivion, the abyss


A refocusing


Glimpsing enlightenment


 


So now what?


So now what?
