Unending Marathon

Like a large, black, 
stag beetle, you give a sermon 
on living. You don’t believe 
in death.

Ready to jump from the 
cliff, how did you reach there ?
Slipping through the 
cracks of a marathon !

Amid fear and anxiety 
hitting the raw line of finish 
with tranced frenzy.

After glass and long kisses, 
did you eat the prickly pears  ?
On the way to salvation, you 
were giving very? 
uncharitable commentary 
at the terminus.
