Notes About The Poem

Metaphorical 

Fatal Blow

life's 
beginning 
Anew.
Dreams 
suffocate
chasing
the extinction
of a canceled 
tomorrow.
Mysterious
Apparitions of
yesterdays faces
Appearing on pages
incites rages.
Of what could have been.
Uncouth tactics, games 
continue to be played
while the towel I through in waves 
in the turmoil.
Whose turn is it to feel the twist
of the knife.
Or to see the blood of a neck you've saved.
Pretentious and desperate nooses 
wait for enabled bodies to swing 
from fruitless trees.
Sirens roar as they drive slowly 
to save victims of suicide.
Never meant to be, but are.
Species impassioned for want of attention.
Lacking the ear for opening melodies.
A stranger, A whore in their past life
Walks barefoot in my big shoes prints. 
Picking up my discarded towel.
And finishes the game unscathed.
