Moving forward
My feet dragging backward
An icy shiver traced my eyebrows
Goosebumps erupt
My nerves feel totally wrecked
Untouchable
Unpredictable
Unexplained
This feeling eludes my grasp
Almost there, but never quite
It's elusive indeed
Like a nightmare that never ends
A new start comes with every dawn
Unexplained
Unpredictable
Untouchable
Overwhelmed by shame
Lord, have mercy
My days are numbered
A sorrowful reminder
Of past glories
Lost in a day
Perhaps not this very moment
Not even at supper
But next week, or the month after
Money will run out
Our table is bare
Our dignity lost
Everything will fall apart
If no good emerges
If I don’t
Take action
One
Two
Three
Four
Five
Six
Seven
Eight
Nine
Ten
There's nothing left to count
My body has moved on
To another dimension
No need for sustenance
A shadow, no longer subject to anyone's will
