Missed Poems
Her chest heaves
in slow-burn motion
like pain etched on her clamped spine...
and deep into a night sighing death's nearness,
brows mark a skull
tattooed upon mementos,
while lungs attempt to wake frail twilight.
The skull resting on her head,
does it weep
for the finale of a once beguiled life;
romancing tracks of her exalted journey ?
