Expire like a can of SPAM

Amusings about concerns

By Salomé SaffiriPublished 3 years ago • Updated 3 years ago • 1 min read
This marvelous image was created by me and for me in AI. In my true fashion to take death with a light heart.

I'm suddenly so tired.

Just moments prior

I lived, I hustled.

Today has given me a reason

To think that I might perish -

Expire like a can of spam.

How suddenly I feel relieved.

Relieved from worrying about her,

Relieved from need to hustle.

Relieved from guessing

When death may come.

By knowing when - I can control it.

Is this why elders

Are peaceful in their heart about it.

Oh well..

Writing - is my purpose. I feel elated when my thoughts assume shapes, and turn into Timberwolves, running through the snowbound planes of fresh paper, leaving the black ink of their paw prints behind.
