Diminishes

The trees are seeding

I listen to the sound
Smoke a cigarette
Write forgotten thoughts

Struggling to resurface

I ignore the news
I will not see
The sea again—
I promise myself, I will not see

Everyday I grow more alone
More afraid of dying
Of what the world will be
Without me

The words are empty to me
A canvas saturated in colors
I cannot see

There is no greatness fulfilled
No sense of loss absolved
No pride in accomplishment

My eyes are dry
My fingers closed

The rain diminishes
Concrete and sirens
Laughing at the ricochet

This is amazing.
I sat for an hour just re-reading this poem
before I realised I was in a trance.
Thankyou,
Mickey

Dear Abraham,
I reread your poem so many times. Each time a different meaning, each time a different feeling. I'm moved deeply by your rhyme. I only hope you will honor us with more of your time.
Warm love
consue
