All That Remains -

Autumn, the sky darkening

Hospital, blinking pale lights

The plastic floor turns you to spectre

Chloroform

A thick atmosphere

Masking the smell of piss, shit and Death

And Death

The drop by drop gives rhythm to

The staring silence

Burden reunion

Sadness vanishing making space for discomfort

And then revealed

All that remains

This is all that remains

The bunch of snowdrops water is turning muddy

The bed leaves palliative care unit

To descent several stories

All that remains

Then came the winter

The grave, subject of curiosity

Forced compassion

Again, you see all that remains

And then revealed

This is all that is remaining

All that remains

The dim remembrance says how distant the spring is

A long summer of disdain has concealed all

Innocence.

Nothing but your worldliness remains

Can you tell if you’d choose surrender over oblivion?

Once for all, you are lost for salvation
