Gershon Wolf Poet Free verse

I Can't Face the Thought of It

 
     Here I am slowing down again
        fidgeting with things, tarrying, stalling out
     Anything to put off that horrible moment
        that near-catastrophic split second

     O! I just can’t face the prospect
        I can’t face the thought of it
     I certainly can’t put it into MERE WORDS!
        It’s too devastating to let it happen

     So, I won’t. I’ll continue to procrastinate
        to put it off forever, though no later…

     Ease up, dear reader ~
        I just tossed the best book ever into the incinerator
