Unra.ve..lin…g....…

It’s All Coming Apart!!!

Hold On Tight!

The remaining threads unravel;
                                                     Slipping,
                                                                       Snapping,
                                                                                            Into
                                                                                                       the
                                                                   w  h i r l  pool
                                                         i
                                   …….go

How did this happen?   What was the cause?
Hold on tight for the final applause!

It’s the mess about my feet 
That holds me tight;

Tattered way,
Flaxen decay,

                    Pulling all
                   downwards
                          to
                         the
                      ground,
            Cementing foot tight.
 
“When” Can I say when!?

Collected memories heap and trap me:-----------Inject-me>>>
Sucking straws SUCK!
draining
dry;

What’s next? 

Too long to wonder such things.     Or to short?

Could death be the answer?
                                                A messy solution…to the unresolved…….P
We shall see.
                        “Destiny waits for no one”…..they say.

When is it time to sing that song?

So mute,
so long,
                       so incomplete…………..

Shredding to dust before me.


My tune must carry!……………………..”where?”

“On pirate stations”,
                                   the answer comes:

Out there………………………....out……….there…………………….a residual……  echo …………….

                                 
Broadcast             fra g me nt              minds


Station  identification………received…………….acknowledged……………
                                         
                                         
            ………………………………………...……out of time.
