John Lawless Poet Free verse

Closing Arguments

Her touch leaves no evidence
of her passing
nor does the imperceptible tremor
of her tensioned ease
alert her prey.
Too late they feel
her closing breath
seizing theirs.

Hello There August 30, 2019 at 4:03 PM Ah, and this is silence. She just won't allow it to come out, even seals it with a sticky kiss for good measure! Nice portrayal ~ good luck in the contest!
