On arrogate life, should one stare so?
Under such gaze, Thanatos peeps thru!
Rained-out vigor streaks pastel of pallor…

Death beckons as the lime does bleed
evanescing color, bleaching to a white
spreading over oak as if Spanish moss
treading, lichen-like, over a tree spent
its tendrils holding in a choking surety
neath a receding eye so dark and worn
yonder-bound already on soul’s destiny…

The bright arrogate colors
Surround me in mass
Closing my eyes is futile

People fawn over them
Placing them everywhere 
No matter my hiding
I'll never be free

that cannot be conquered
that cannot be subdued
that cannot be held in pockets
however tyrannical or evil
holder of the hammer may be....
