Mourn – A Poem
Mourn
I am cursed with another thought.
In this thought, I am pointing.
Except I am pointing at myself.
I am pointing at my head.
Index and thumb.
My finger feels like cold metal.
In this thought,
my wrist jolts.
My hand moves quicker than I can perceive.
And in one fluid motion,
the room begins to fade.`
What comes next is silence.
*
Stay focused.
No funerals.
