1.
Her face a story
Time etched each line on thin skin
Ending yet written
2.
The chaos of now
Is flattened by time passing
Its sharp edges dulled
3.
Corporeal ones
Flit through time like hummingbirds
Briefly beautiful
4.
Hear between wind chimes
How silent eternities
Sound temporary

Diabolical Dealing
Charlene Lind found herself at the home of her therapist, Dr. Alexandra Vech, who she had been seeing for a week. What was supposed to be a session ended up becoming a desperate plea of help from Charlene as she was suddenly losing consciousness. She was cognizant enough to know that she had only a minute left until she would be out like a light.
