Poetry Drafts / 20 December 2019

Sinking

One thousand lifetimes
Captured in words of others
In writing
Of life
Of moments
Now almost extinct

Bricks crumbling into dust
The rocks once solid
Now quicksand
Beneath me

The sinking
The sinking
The sinking feeling

No feeling
No joy
No sorrow
No more

The Master calls me
& I consider
…
Complying
