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.
