Under the pale blue sky

I pale in turn

The flapping sail of my life

Shuddering weakly

The wind swinging, its

fabric meekly hanging on

like the final chattering

Of teeth and bones

Before I am lost to

The infinite

Torn and tattered sea


Air escapes my lungs

Butterflies from a cage

A page of this story

that feels like its last.


An eternity within minutes

seems to pass

before the page

is finally turned.


The author's comments:

I was inspired to make this piece by the idea that one someone is gone, the world continues to move all the same, and yet our lives continue to effect the world, no matter how little.
