The seven stages in five
Intermittent sound.
I feel the coldness of the sunlight.
Movements draw attention.
One in front of the other.
I gather momentum wrecklessly.
The system asks so much.
She is my hope.
I find joy in laughter.
Broken I mourn times takings.
Golden years bring no peace.
I search rubble for treasure.
Yet I ready my bed.
It's cold again.
Memories resigned as stolen.
I'm afraid of what's next.
