silence pressing
down
relentless,
threatening,
a crouching
beast of prey
awaiting propitious
moment
to jump for
the kill.
that killer
smile plastered to my afflicted brain
I stand,
immovable, impotent
petrified into
silent surrender.
and in the
void between life and death
stands Time,
inscrutable in its dignity
the Ringmaster
in circus of life
a burning
hoop of fire held out
inviting that
scorching jump.
Do i dare to
fight? To turn my back
to flee that
open jaw?
no, let me
wait for the blade to fall
to slice
through- or for the wrack
to stretch my
limbs taut
tearing each
apart
painfully slow
to the end.
