Caren Krutsinger Poet Dramatic Monologue

Belief Is Gone

Belief is gone
Bereft I linger long after death
No one knows I am gone
Least of all me

What has happened?
Or am I premature?
Is this an epiphany 
Or a funeral?
Am I truly gone
Or is this one of those
night terror things?
I walk around like a lost wayfarer,
yet, not walking with feet
but rather flying 
from place to place,
satisfied in no way.

I peek at the survivors
Who have no idea
And do I even?
Not really

Robert Johnson April 29, 2019 at 9:19 AM Is this what they're talking about when they say Zombie Apocalypse? And thank you very much Caren for your kind and supportive comment on my piece. <3 :) Caren Krutsinger April 29, 2019 at 11:13 PM You are welcome, Robert. I am thinking of myself, the few days after death, when I am zooming around watching the relatives, wondering which ones are thinking what, and who I will miss, and who I will assuredly not miss.
